While the Smoky Hill Museum remains open to visitors, the Holiday Open House will not take place this year to protect the health of visitors and their families.

Instead, the museum is handing out craft kits for make-at-home fun. Craft kits may be picked up starting Saturday and through Dec. 19, during regular museum hours. Craft kits are free.

Children will be able to make a holiday sack puppet, two ornaments, and a Christmas card. Plus, while supplies last, every kit will include a surprise. Each kit comes with supplies, instructions and requires adult supervision. Glue and crayons are not included (optional).

The museum, at 211 West Iron Avenue is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. Be sure to check out the special exhibit The 1950s Part 2: Beyond the American Dream when you come to get your craft kit.
