The Kibbe Hancock Heritage Museum plans to be open as part of the Carthage Christmas Open House on Thursday, Dec. 4, from 4 to 8 p.m., featuring the model train displays of Galen Wollbrink and Jim Morrison.
For several years, Wollbrink has set up his model train displays at the museum for public viewing during the holidays, beginning with the Carthage Christmas Open House. Morrison returns this year with his North Pole style train set up.
Four additional days during December and January allow visitors into the museum when Wollbrink and Morrison will be on hand to show the trains in action. Those days will be announced soon.
There is no charge to enter the museum or see the displays. All the other exhibit rooms at the museum are open for viewing.
The museum will reopen for the next season on April 1, 2026.
The museum is located at 306 Walnut, in Carthage, one block south of Rt. 136. For information, call 217357-9552.
