On Second Saturday, December 13, catch the soulful sounds of Sound of the Falls, an a cappella women's choir, performing Christmas Carols at 12:30 pm. At 1:00 pm, historian Ken Robison will present "Celebrating Christmas in Early Great Falls," a free admission presentation that explores the city’s early Christmases.

The first Christmas for Great Falls in 1884 passed by with no celebration—the new town at the falls of the Missouri was just too small. As December 1885 approached, planning began for the first Christmas celebration in Great Falls to be held in the tiny one room school on the lower Southside. People came from miles around for that Christmas party, and there were presents for everybody. Historian Ken Robison will bring that first local Christmas celebration to life together with several other early yuletide events in early Montana Territory.

Both events are free admission, located in The History Museum’s Ozark Club event room. The museum and gift shop will be open 12-5pm.
