Drive Through

Christmas Village

​

The Tobacco Farm Life Museum, Kenly Area Chamber of Commerce, Town of Kenly and local businesses worked together to provide a special 2020 holiday program. We invited you to Kenly to tour our first ever Drive Through Christmas Village and to enjoy the downtown Holiday Decorations.

​

The Tobacco Farm Life Museum's historic buildings and grounds were decorated like a Christmas Village. Visitors enjoyed the old fashioned, rustic holiday magic from the comfort and safety of their own vehicles.

​

Learn more about the history and inspiration behind the decorations here. 

​

Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, and community members who made this event possible through donations of time, money, or materials. 

​

Proceeds from the event support the museum's mission to preserve and present Eastern North Carolina's rural history.
