Experience a one-of-a-kind installation of dozens of stunning story trees crafted by talented local volunteers and organizations, each featuring elaborate hand-made decorations inspired by a picture book.

A centerpiece of the Museum’s community-focused programing, this popular annual event celebrates children’s books and a love of reading as families explore new story trees, sit and read together, or undertake a festive scavenger hunt.

Now in its 30th year, in 2025 Family Trees will feature a mix of classic children’s books – from Goodnight Moon to the Very Hungry Caterpillar – and inspiring new books, many by local authors.

2025 Special Event
Join us on December 14 for a festive Birthday Party to celebrate 30 years of Family Trees! Meet the local authors, illustrators, and even some of the characters from the books featured in this year’s installation.
