Excelsior Springs
celebrates the season with
The Hall of Trees
The Excelsior Springs
Museum and Archive, the Hall of Waters and the Elms
Resort, are again hosting Excelsior Spring's Hall of Trees
celebration. In addition to viewing the many trees decked out for
the holidays, it is a wonderful time to enjoy the rich history of
Excelsior Springs museum, the displays on history at the Hall of
Waters, and a leisurely stroll through the Elms Lobby. The
museum, located at 101 E. Broadway, is open Tuesday through Saturday
from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. The Hall of Waters and the Hotel
lobby are available for viewing during those same hours.
We hope you will enjoy these pictures from
