Visit the Keep Homestead Museum on Sunday, December 7 when Lorraine German examines the evolution of Christmas tree ornaments.

Lorraine is the owner of Mad River Antiques in North Granby, CT and she will discuss the history of adorning the Christmas tree in America, and she will provide examples of tree decorations from her own collection. Her antique Christmas collection began with an early 20th century German Santa and sleigh inherited from her grandparents.

This program starts at 1:30 pm in the barn and is open to the public free of charge though donations are welcome. Visitors are welcome to tour the festive museum from 1:00 – 3:30 pm to view Christmas button displays courtesy of the Monson Button Club and to enjoy light refreshments. Visit the gift shop where handmade note cards featuring buttons are for sale.

Join us outside for hot roasted chestnuts compliments of Replanting Monson Tree Committee and students from the Tantasqua Chestnut Club.
