The Silver City Museum held a workshop the Saturday before Christmas to show people how to create Christmas tree ornaments the way the Victorians did. Each participant received a bag of materials with which to make an orange pomander, gilded walnuts and a tinfoil garland.

Erin Griffith, Interim Educator for the Museum, explained how the Victorians used available materials such as fabric, fruit, nuts and metal scraps to decorate their trees.
