Belton Museum Lets It Snow in New Exhibit

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

Winter brings dreams of snow, mostly to Southerners, and the Belton Area Museum wants to help.

The museum’s latest exhibit, “Let it Snow,” kicked off Sunday at the historic Belton train depot with the goal of bringing a winter wonderland to the area.

The snow-and-ice themed exhibit brings features collections of snow globes of all types and ceramics with snow themes, vintage items needed to play and dress for snow days, sports memorabilia from icy sporting events and antique and vintage photos of landmarks in the snow. 

Visitors can walk through icicles and snowflakes to find an igloo made from recycled gallon jugs, and for the kids, there’s a possible mock snowball fight indoors. T

The exhibit runs through March 4, and can be visited during regular museum hours (Wednesday – Friday 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. – noon), or by scheduled appointment for groups.
