“Fantasy Forest started many years ago, when Lorie Rutledge was director of the museum,” said David Deaton, LeFlore County Museum director. “The trees were decorated just like now, except the trees were auctioned off in the early part of December. I wanted the museum and its patrons to be able to enjoy the Christmas season all the way through Christmas. This is now the second year where the trees are voted on and will remain on display through December.”
Come by and take your family’s Christmas photos at the museum.
The LeFlore County Museum is located at 303 Dewey Avenue in downtown Poteau and is open from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays or by appointment by calling (918) 647-9330.
Here are some of the trees on display. Come see us during business hours and vote on your favorite ones.
