Festival of Trees:
November 14, 2008

Come see the trees! Every year, hundreds of people come to the Byron Museum to view over 30 beautifully decorated christmas trees. Local businesses, organizations, and groups are invited to set up a decorated tree in the Museum, free of charge, and leave the tree on display until after the holidays.

Between Fences:
November 29, 2008 through January 11, 2009

This traveling Exhibition is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the Illinois Humanities Council. Six communities in Illinois were selected to host this year’s tour of Between Fences, a fascinating look at fences through a cultural & historical lens. Fences - what they’re keeping in, what they’re keeping out, and what is beyond them. For more information, please visit our Between Fences website at www.BetweenFences.com.
