Venango Museum’s Christmas display underway

The Venango Museum is hosting its annual Christmas display.

Trees have been set up by the Friends of the Oil City Library, State Rep. Lee James’ office, Oil City Garden Club, Oil City Southside Northside and Siverly Neighborhood associations, Venango County Democratic Party, Marilyn Black, ZONTA, Oil City Main Street, Venango County Republican Party and Oil City Healthcare.

Display cases are filled with Nativities, Jim Shore items, Santas, angels, teapots and cups. Mary Chapin, Belles Lettres members and Community Playhouse members also designed display cases.

Instead of paying admission the museum is asking guests to vote for their favorites with a cash donation.

The display will be up until Sunday, Dec. 31.  The winner of the voting will be announced in early January.

The display is open during the museum’s regular visiting hours which are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Tuesdays through Sundays.  The museum will be closed Sunday and Monday, Dec. 24-25, for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The museum is located at 270 Seneca St., Oil City.
