The Museum will give away free Holiday Treat Bags for children during the Parade of Lights on Friday, December 6, while supplies last. Rooted in a tradition that spanned from the 1920s to the 1980s, Louisville community organizations funded treat bags that each contained an orange, nuts in the shell, and pieces of ribbon candy. For many Louisville children, receiving these treat bags was a large part of their holiday experience. During the Depression, the treats were sometimes the main gift children received in some families. We thank the Louisville History Foundation for sponsoring the treat bags again this year and for continuing the tradition.
