Happy New Year from all of us at the GAHC&M. We are thrilled with our success in 2022 and we look forward to a bright 2023! A big thank you to all of our visitors, members, volunteers, community partners, staff, and friends who made this year wonderful. We would not be where we are without your help and support 💛
Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season from all of us at the GAHC&M. Come see our completed Advent calendar through the first week of January! ⛄️❄️
Due to the inclement weather we have decided to close tomorrow and Friday December 22nd and 23rd. We will be closed through the 26th for the holiday weekend.
We will be open December 27th-30th 10am – 4pm, and be closed New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. We will be open Tuesday January 3rd to kick off 2023! 🥳
How we install our Advent Calendar windows!
Step 1 We cut the vinyl so they fit the shape of the windows. Since it is an old building not all of the windows are the same size.
Step 2 Climb onto your desk in order to reach the top of the window. 🤪
Step 3 Peel back the plastic film to reveal the clingy vinyl.
Step 4 Use a plastic card or scraper to adhere the design to the window, getting as many bubbles out as you can.
Step 5 Admire the new design and countdown the days until Christmas!#advent #christmas #windows #vinyl #davenport #german #museum #froheweinachten
We will be closed December 24th-26th and December 31st-January 2nd. Come see us in 2023!
