📬🎅🏽 LETTERS TO SANTA: Santa’s elves have placed a North Pole Express mailbox at the museum in Downtown Rogers at Second & Cherry. It will be here until December 17. We hear Santa’s eyes aren’t what they used to be, so be sure to clearly print your name and mailing address if you’d like Santa to send you a reply letter via USPS.

We wish you all a wonderful day of food and family!

The museum will be closed Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday. We will be open again on Saturday. Come check out our new traveling exhibit "Working America" in the Trammel Gallery and take a guided tour of the Hawkins House featuring "A Rogers Christmas."
