Holiday Homecoming celebrates the traditions of the first peoples of this area, the Native Americans and early settlers. The Heritage Center utilizes its facilities for musical acts, performers, craft stations, refreshments, and a visit with Santa. When guests enter the Heritage Center, they are personally welcomed by the staff and volunteers, and they notice the lovely pioneer holiday decorations that the Heritage Center's Guild has assembled at the entrance and in the gift shop.
