Last Chances: Laurel Museum Exhibit, Mall-Free Shopping

The Laurel Museum's current exhibit closes Sunday, December 23. The Museum Shop also offers Mall-free shopping. Two great opportunities at one stop!

Have you been meaning to visit the Laurel Museum’s Mill Worker Exhibit? Do you need a last minute gift and don’t want to go to the Mall—again? Have I got a deal for you.

True Life: I Am A Laurel Mill Worker—the Laurel Museum’s facinating exhibit that explores the mill worker lives and work experiences at the Laurel’s cotton mills—will close for good this Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012. Also closing Dec. 23: the Field of Carnage/Personal Sorrows exhibit that provides a first-hand account of Antietam and an early Civil War death in Laurel.

The museum will then be closed through Feb. 3, when it reopens with its next exhibit: Stationed in Laurel: Our Civil War Story.

Better still is a place to shop away from the Mall crowds. Plenty of parking. Ornaments make great gifts, and this year's "The Laurel Mill with Workers," is great.
