The annual Victorian Holiday celebration will be held at the Farm House
Museum during December. The historic home will be decked out in authentic
Victorian decorations and from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays, a special event will
be held and Victorian treats served. The following events are planned:
- Dec. 1, Pose for Polaroid pictures taken near the Farm House
holiday tree ($2) and create Victorian-inspired paper silhouette frames.
Music provided by flautist Liz Morse.
- Dec. 8, View Victorian quilts on display at the museum and The Knoll,
take a horse-drawn wagon ride between the two locations, meet Santa and make
a star ornament.
- Dec. 15, Create a Victorian-style holiday craft box and meet
Santa.
The museum will be closed from Dec. 20 to Jan. 13, 2003. More information
