Santa Claus is Coming to Morristown – 4:30pm
Venue 21, Macculloch Hall Historical Museum, 45 Macculloch Ave., 4:30pm – 7:00pm (History)
Though primarily a political cartoonist, Thomas Nast (1840-1902) was perhaps most proud of the image of Santa Claus that he popularized. The artist lived at 50 Macculloch Avenue, just across the street from Macculloch Hall. The Nast home, Villa Fontana, can be seen in many of Nast’s Christmas images. Nast also featured Morristown’s downtown as the backdrop in many of his Santa Claus scenes. Look carefully, and you may recognize church spires and various rooftops. In these drawings, one can sense Nast’s love of home and the excitement that is in the air during the Christmas season.
