Come experience the Nashville holiday traditions of the 1930s -1960s through photographs, news articles and ads from the Nashville Banner Archives and period collectibles of decorations, crafts, gifts and toys. The excitement of going downtown to shop in your finest clothes, the store windows with holiday displays, the Christmas Parade with high school bands, lighting of the community tree, caroling for contributions and of course the man with the bag, just to name a few! Ladies: hat and gloves; Gentlemen: bow tie and crew cut – Gee, you’ll think it’s swell! This exhibit makes its reappearance in the Courtyard Gallery.
