The Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch
The Depot Museum opens for the season on Saturday, May 1, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Opening day will also be the first day the 2021 Sleepy Eye Christmas Ornament is available for purchase. To celebrate the May Day opening and ornament introduction, refreshments will be available.
Several years ago the Sleepy Eye Area Historical Society became the organization to produce the annual collectible ornament. Each year, SEAHS chooses a historical photo from the museum’s collection to feature on the ornament.
For 2021 the Sleepy Eye Ornament features a 1921 photo of the Opera House, an establishment for theater and musical entertainment which occupied the second floor of the building we now know as the Palace. The building, a fixture in downtown Sleepy Eye, was erected in 1895.
