The Fresno Historical Society has been working overtime to present a visual feast for the holidays at the Kearney Museum Mansion.
On Sunday, the society debuts its “Christmas Through the Decades” tree display. Each tree is designed and styled by a local decorator.

“Have you ever seen a Rubik’s Cube as a tree topper? Well, you will on our 1980s-themed tree.” — Elizabeth Laval, president, Fresno Historical Society
“The mansion looks amazing,” says historical society president Elizabeth Laval. “Have you ever seen a Rubik’s Cube as a tree topper? Well, you will on our 1980s-themed tree.”
In addition, there is a photo exhibition courtesy of the Pop Laval Foundation featuring photos of Central Valley Christmas celebrations from the early 1900s.

Meet and Greet With a Victorian Santa on Dec. 7

On Saturday, Dec. 7, the museum will host a meet-and-greet with a classic Victorian-dressed Santa Claus. Admission will include a photo opportunity, cookies, and hot chocolate.
You can purchase tickets for that event and other museum events at this link.
Guided tours are available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m. throughout December.
The mansion also is open for self-guided tours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Sunday and on Dec. 7.
