Living History Christmas and Christmas events at the Gregg County Historical Museum

The TRAINS ARE BACK this year at Living History Christmas at the Gregg County Historical Museum! Join us on December 5th, 2026, for a free day at the museum as the exhibits come to life.

Begin your journey at the museum with a greeting from Mr. Everett, the builder of the historic Everett Building. Learn about the Kilgore Rangerettes from a real Rangerette. Enjoy a tale from "Bill Dalton", the infamous Dalton Gang Bank robber or a 1930s oil field worker from the East Texas Oil Boom and experience authentic Caddo Indian face painting. Top it all off with coloring pages and ornament making for a family experience you won't forget. Oh! And don't forget to visit the blacksmith as you enter. This event has become a family tradition for many people. Visitors travel great distances to enjoy it. This event will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2026 and is FREE to the public.
