High Point COVID-19 Experience Project

As we move into the end of the year and the holiday season, the High Point Museum staff wants to remind and ask for your participation in our COVID-19 Experience Project.

As part of our COVID-19 Experience Project, we’re looking for stories, images and objects to document how holidays are different this year. What is the one object that symbolizes holiday traditions for you? What is the one object that would represent the holidays 2020?

Share your story here or in our Facebook group.
