FREDERICK COUNTY, MD - Folks in our area were able to take a step back in time and enjoy holiday decorations around Frederick County, Md. this weekend for free.
Officials say it was all part of the Museums by Candlelight event. They say several museums decorated their buildings with different themes for the holidays.
"All of the museums in Frederick County are open for free during Museums by Candlelight, and most of them would do something holiday related," says Kristen Butler, at the Historical Society of Frederick County.
