History Museum hosting exhibit on Yuletide traditions this holiday season

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The History Museum in South Bend is offering a historical look at Christmas and Yuletide traditions this holiday season.

"At The History Museum’s Insights in History, taking place at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 4, Curator of Copshaholm, Skylar Whited, describes Christmas traditions of yesteryear," organizers said.

A first-floor tour of the Oliver Mansion decorated for the season will be offered.

"J.D. and Anna Oliver and their four children moved into their new home at 808 West Washington in South Bend on New Year’s Day in 1897—Copshaholm, as they would later name it," organizers said.

Museum officials say the Insights in History series is a monthly series that features a lecture in conjunction with an exhibit or area at the museum.

Admission is $3 and reservations are required by Dec. 2.
