Begin the holiday season with the Bush Family Home 2nd Ornament Workshop on December 6 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. There will be Christmas music, crafting, and some refreshments, like cookies, hot chocolate, and apple cider. Make an ornament for the tree and enjoy all the warm moments of the season

“This is a great chance to add something early in the Christmas season to your tree,” said Site Manager Troy Gray. “Also, make sure you take a tour of the house to see 1950s Christmas decorations.”

For regular admission, visitors can take a tour of the Bush Family Home while it is decorated with aluminum Christmas trees and other decorations from the 1950s. The fireplace mantel will be decorated as the Bush family did in 1953 after the death of their daughter Robin.

The Bush Family Home State Historic Site is located at 1412 West Ohio St. in Midland. The hours for the home are: Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; the last tour begins at 4:15 p.m. The Bush Family Home joined the Texas Historical Commission in 2023 and is one of 42 sites in the state of Texas.
