Homestead Holiday Open Houses

The Twitchell-Rowland Homestead will open its doors for its annual Holiday Open House events from 2-4 p.m. Sundays, December 3, 8, and 15. The 1755 saltbox is located at 60 Towner Ln., off Route 67 in Oxford. Admission is free and tours will be offered.

The Homestead has been decorated for the season by the Oxford Garden Club. This year’s featured displays include antique and vintage dolls loaned by Historical Society members. Of special interest are demonstrations by local weavers on the museum’s c1790 loom.

A seasonal boutique will offer handkerchiefs, ornaments, McDonald’s toys, Pez dispensers, jewelry, antiques and more. Local notecards, history books and other unique gift items will also be on sale.

Guests will be greeted with cider and treats baked especially for the occasion by members of the Oxford Society.

Those seeking further information may call Nancy Farnum at 203-888-0230.
