ASHLAND — This year all of the buildings at the Ashland County Historical Society will be decorated and open to the public with a Christmas tree in every room including the recently opened James and Suzanne Clark Carriage House and revamped Veterans Exhibit.
In total, the museum will feature 23 full-sized Christmas trees spread across all four buildings – three more trees than last year thanks to the help of our wonderful volunteers.
In the Manor House, guests will enjoy live music and freshly baked cookies.
Visitors are also invited to head over to the Freer Home which features over-the-top decorations including an elf room and Barbie display.
According to the Ashland County Historical Society’s Events and Program Coordinator, Sydney Miller, decorating for Christmas is one of the biggest projects for the organization.
“We take on and we certainly couldn’t pull it off without the help of our wonderful volunteers,” they said. “Every year we try and make our display bigger and better than the previous year which means we are always looking to recruit more volunteers to help.
“It really is a community project.”
Be sure to mark your calendars for Sunday, Dec. 10 from 4 to 7 p.m. for some early Christmas festivities.
The Noonan House, Carriage House, and Manor House will be open at the main campus in addition to the Freer Home.
Guests are encouraged to visit both locations to get the full experience. The main campus is located at 420 Center Street, and the Freer Home is at 1260 Center Street.
This event is free and open to the public.
The Ashland County Historical Society is dedicated to preserving the history of our small community; any contribution is welcome and greatly appreciated.
