Enjoy The Sounds Of The Season At St. Charles County Heritage Museum

The community is invited to enjoy the annual Sounds of the Season at St.
Charles County Heritage Museum, 1630 Heritage Landing near St.
Charles, from 1:30 – 4:30 p.m., on Sunday, Dec. 15. Presented by the St. Charles County Parks and
Recreation Department, this popular musical program invites you to come in out
of the cold, sip a cup of hot apple cider, and enjoy a variety of inspiring music
while touring the innovative transportation exhibit at the museum. The first 50
guests will receive a complimentary 2013 commemorative ornament to remember the
special occasion. This year’s musical performances include the Greenleaf
Singers at 1:30 p.m., the St. Charles Community Singers at 2:15 p.m., and St.
Elizabeth/St. Robert Regional School Choir at 2:45 p.m.      

“This is the third year the St. Charles
County Parks Department has hosted this free musical program at our historical
museum and we encourage families to come out and enjoy the festivities,” said
Parks Director Bettie Yahn-Kramer.

The interactive transportation exhibit,
On The Move…A History of Transportation in St. Charles County, showcases
rivers, rails and roadways in St. Charles County. Guests are encouraged to watch
the musical performances in the museum meeting room and then explore the new exhibit. The exhibit features several interactive components,
including touchscreen maps, a model bridge building area that is especially fun
for children, and a steamboat pilot house computerized game that simulates the
experience of navigating a vessel up the Missouri River. Other areas of the museum
feature displays about the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroads and the bridges of
past and present in St. Charles County.
