Holiday Memories 2026 at the Sheboygan County Museum is a destination to create new memories, while sharing an experience from years past. A magical exhibition rooted in the animated holiday displays of Sheboygan’s H.C. Prange Company store, the 2026 display features the beloved Elves of SantaLand working hard to process orders, ship out goods, and keep the North Pole on track as the holiday approaches.
The family friendly atmosphere also includes chat with the charismatic Bruce the Spruce, vintage Garton Toys to pedal in the ride-on corral, and an array of family-friendly activities. Enjoy the festively decorated Community Trees, the sparkling lights in the David Taylor House, and the quiet simplicity of the Weinhold Log Cabin. Visit during one of the many scheduled events to add even more merry to your holiday season.
