Celebrate the holidays 1950s style! Explore the museum’s signature exhibition featuring the 1950s All-Electric House decorated for Christmas! The All-Electric House will be decked out for the holidays. Enjoy the sparkle of an aluminum tree, the glow of big bulb light strings, and the nostalgia of the vintage décor throughout the house.

Interact with museum staff as you learn why we collect, how we collect, and the importance to our local community. Our collection features over 19,300 3D objects and over one million images. The Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center holds the museum’s two-dimensional collection, including manuscripts, maps, photographs, and quilts. To schedule a separate time for your group of six to 12 people, or a tour for youth or scout groups, please call (913) 715-2570.

HO-HO-Holiday-Fun! Santa will check in with us VIRTUALLY and interact LIVE with us from his workshop at the north pole (via some very fancy elf technology) while we make holiday themed crafts and community holiday cards. He even has a special cookie gift for you to take with you as you exit the workshop. As a special treat, a refurbished 1949 Lionel train set will be running under the tree from 11 to 2! Plus we will have retro inspired crafts and we’ve pulled popular gifts from across the decades—see if you can guess what they are! With admission to SANTA'S VIRTUAL WORKSHOP for December 12, receive a $1 off admission coupon to the museum on December 12, 2020 for up to EIGHT guests! The coupon code will print at the bottom of your SANTA'S VIRTUAL WORKSHOP receipt.
