The seventh annual North Berrien Holiday Open House was a great success with over 1,000 visitors viewing our Christmas trees throughout the month of December. The popularity of gingerbread house decorating increased dramatically from 70 houses in 2010 to 240 houses in 2011. In addition, school groups from Coloma Elementary, Coloma Middle School, and Watervliet North Elementary toured the museum to view the Christmas trees.
