Lehigh Valley, PA – On Sunday, December 1st, 2024, more than 2,100 museums representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia, 25 countries, and five continents will celebrate Museum Store Sunday, and offer unique gifts for the holiday season.  In the Lehigh Valley, the National Canal Museum, the Sigal Museum, and the National Museum of Industrial History are all participating, with every purchase supporting their missions and programs as well as the artisans and craftspeople who create many of the gifts found in their museum stores.
