Holidays at Hanley House
Celebrate Christmas through the Decades!
The Southern Oregon Historical Society is celebrating the holidays in style at SOHS Hanley Farm, and you’re invited to join us! Wrap up the Christmas season on Friday, December 26th, when the 19th century Hanley Farmhouse will be decked out for the holidays with rooms depicting the holiday trends of the 1860’s, 1880’s, 1920’s, 1940’s, and 1960’s. Three generations of Hanleys owned and occupied this property, located at 1053 Hanley Road, Central Point. Visitors can expect to see over 100 years of Christmas decor, toys, and fashions from the Hanley and SOHS Collections.
Costumed docents will guide you through the decades, sharing Hanley holiday traditions along with the rich history of the Hanley family and farm. Tours begin every 20 minutes with the first tour at 10am and the last at 3pm. Tickets are $10 for adults; $5 for children 12 and under. Tour size is limited!
Tickets must be purchased online in advance at sohs.org
Established in 1857, this 37-acre Century Farm is owned and operated by the Southern Oregon Historical Society. Originally settled as a land grant, it remained in the Hanley family until 1982 when Mary Hanley, a founder of the Society, donated it to SOHS. It is both a working farm and a museum, the largest artifact in SOHS’s 1,000,000+ collection. In addition to being the site of public SOHS events throughout the year, its picturesque setting, 19th Century farmhouse, barns, water tower, and other historic outbuildings are the perfect backdrop for special events and are available for private function rentals.
