Plano’s Heritage Farmstead Museum will soon be bedazzled with more than a million twinkling holiday lights. Museum officials announced last week that they would host the farmstead’s first-ever holiday light event. The yuletide display will shine on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from Nov. 26 through Dec. 26, with the exception of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Highlights of the all-outdoor event will include a quarter-mile trail through the farmstead showcasing light creations, animated displays and a 20-foot Christmas tree. Guest will also be able to enjoy hot cocoa and making their own s’mores. Santa Claus is scheduled to be on hand too.
“We are delighted to offer a new and unique holiday experience to Heritage Farmstead Museum guests,” Heritage Farmstead Museum Executive Director M’Lou Hyttinen said. “Lights on the Farm will turn our four-acre historic site into a festive winter wonderland filled with light displays, fun activities and delicious treats, all of which create a fun and memorable outing perfect for both families or groups of friends.”
Tickets for the event will go on sale in September and will be available via the museum’s Lights on the Farm website, heritagefarmstead.muradbid.com Organizers encourage attendees to get tickets in advance. Online admission is $10 for adults and $7 for children 12

Guests can also buy tickets at the door, subject to availability. On-site tickets will cost $15 for adults and $10 for children. Tours begin each evening at 6 p.m. Guests will be allowed entry into the property every 20 minutes until at 9 p.m. The Farmstead will close at 10 p.m. on event evenings.
