In 2022 we commissioned the design of three custom-built metal Christmas trees, which were wrapped in lights and placed at Dover Park. Santa's sleigh was also parked near the light display.
In 2023 we added a fourth custom-built metal Christmas tree at 25-feet-tall to our display, as well as lights in the trees on the Courthouse lawn. Several 7-foot-tall vintage candles discovered in the Courthouse attic were brought back to life, lighting up the South side of the lawn. Traditional garlands, wreaths, and window candles were also added to decorate the square.
In 2024 all the buildings around the square were lit up with Christmas lights, and a local lighting technician designed a unique, lighted winter wall mural.
Our goal is to continue to add holiday cheer to downtown Kirksville with our past light displays and to add a beautiful new "starlit sky" of Christmas lights across the four streets that enter downtown. If funds allow, we also plan to update the light pole wreaths, build a huge lighted yard ornament for photo ops, and decorate a magic downtown tree. Can you imagine the festivity?
