The Arlington Historical Society enjoyed a festive holiday season! We co-hosted the inaugural Diane Cravens Holiday Tour of Homes, decorated Fielder Museum with Christmas cheer, and hosted Kringle Village at Knapp Heritage Park. Plus, our resident artist drew an impressive rendering of Fielder Museum for her annual Christmas card!
Diane Cravens Holiday Tour of Homes
The Inaugural Diane Cravens Holiday Tour of Homes on December 10th was a successful fundraiser and a fantastic event. We sold over 125 tickets, and guests were delighted by the beautifully adorned homes.

Fielder Museum hosted a VIP private reception to kick off the afternoon. Five homes, including the Fielder Museum, were decorated in their festive finest, and guests were able to enter the homes, enjoy the beautiful decorations, and visit with the homeowners.

Local artist featured drawing of Fielder Museum for annual Christmas card
Keisha Smith is a talented local artist who serves as an Arlington Historical Society Board Member. She has an annual tradition of designing a Christmas card, and this year, her card featured a drawing of the Fielder Museum. Her work is stunning, and this is such a beautiful piece.
Kringle Village at Knapp Heritage Park
On December 2, 3, 16, and 17, Knapp Heritage Park transformed into Kringle Village. The fun and festive event, presented by Dance Theatre of Arlington, featured entertainment, games, a holiday gift market, hot tamales for sale, an appearance by Santa, and much more. The rustic atmosphere at Knapp Heritage Park is the perfect place for this holiday event.
