Historical Society Installation Dinner
Nutcrackers pix
Currently on display in the front window case at the Escalon Historical Museum is a collection of nutcrackers belonging to Esther Payne. These carved wooden figures have evolved into a traditional symbol of Christmas. Esther started this collection in the 1960s, purchasing one per year. Her grandson loves the nutcrackers so much that he has started his own collection and will one day inherit grandmas collection as well. Photo Contributed
