Manitowoc was the home of the famous Evergleam aluminum Christmas tree, and the library celebrates with a glittering indoor forest of rare vintage trees in dozens of styles and colors.
This year’s display brings back a custom 14-foot Evergleam, plus Mirro keepsakes on loan from the Manitowoc County Historical Society, and more trees sparkle in shop windows along Eighth Street downtown.
Parent tip: It is indoors and free during regular library hours, which makes it a perfect cold or rainy day stop, and kids can hunt for the giant 14-foot tree.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
