The History Center is bringing holiday cheer this weekend with its annual Christmas Open House, running Friday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Visitors can enjoy beautifully decorated Christmas trees and themed rooms throughout the museum and Orr Mansion.
School children, local groups, and organizations have contributed their own festive displays, while the History Center Christmas Committee has created a special Christmas movie theme on the second floor and ballroom of the Orr Mansion.
Guests are encouraged to vote for their favorite tree and decorated room during their visit.
Live music will be featured throughout the weekend.
Highlights include piano performances by Alicia Wilkins, Marie Wheeler, and Carol Burton on Friday evening; the Friendly Senior Center Choir and duets by Leanna George and Rebekah Heizer on Saturday; and performances by the Mad River Dulcimer Society, Popular Demand Quartet, and several local piano students on Sunday.
Guests can enjoy refreshments in the Presidents’ Room on the lower level of the museum, and Christmas craft kits will be available for children to take home while supplies last.
The Piecemakers Quilt Club will also be selling tickets for a chance to win a handmade quilt, with options for an Ohio State or Michigan-themed quilt.
Admission to the Open House is free, making it a perfect family outing to celebrate the holiday season.
