Snowmen, complete with carrot noses and little beady eyes, hoard the corners of a Christmas scene dominated by a tall, green tree decorated with graduated sizes and shades of royal purple ornaments topped with a bright, red bow.
The Valley Falls Historical Society's seasonal museum window reflects the winter holiday with steadily twinkling, tiny lights.
An oversized "Happy Birthday Grasshopper Falls" greeting card lauds the city's birthdate, December 25, 1854.
The veterans' window rimmed with greenery and red garlands surrounding U.S. and military service flags and caps honors veterans past, present, and future.
A simple sign with bold, black letters "December 7, 1941," serves as a grim reminder of a national tragedy. A peace sign will replace the reminder.
The society museum will be open at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, 2014, and observe Christmas on Main Street with an open house.
