“Winter Wonderland” open house at the Plantation Historical Museum
Academy children musicians have performed for “Winter Wonderland” open house that takes place at the Plantation Historical Museum in the month of December. The Museum’s members and supporters go all out to capture the spirit of the holudays with spectacular decorations and a display of holiday trees representing a full variety of themes and cultures. The Academy children musicians’ performance at the “Winter Wonderland” open house was made all the more memorable because it was given in front of the Historical Museum’s complete Triceratops Dinosaur skeleton!
