Celebrating Two New Santa Collections
We’re excited to announce the addition of two new collections to the Santa Claus Museum in Columbus – the only Santa Museum in the South! The new collections include 33 hand-carved, hand-painted Russian Santas, donated by Judy Hawthorne, and 17 Cowboy Santas, donated by Donna Thames. Each is sure to bring a little “holly jolly” joy to your life.
The Open House & Reception is open to the public and admission is free.
