GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Thanksgiving is one week away, but the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum isn’t waiting to start its holiday celebration.
Thursday night, officials plan to flip the switch to thousands of lights in and around the museum.
The Salvation Army band and the Caroling Company will serenade visitors. The Salvation Army Canteen plans to serve up hot chocolate, coffee and cookies during the public ceremony, which starts at 7 p.m.
Admission to the Ford Museum is free following the event, giving visitors an opportunity to check out the annual “Christmas on the Grand” display of Christmas trees and holiday quilts.
