The Oswego County Historical Society hosts its annual Victorian Christmas Open House with the special theme this year of “Walk Back in Time.” Held at the Richardson-Bates House Museum, the museum dining room will be fully decorated in the style of the Victorian Christmas celebrations that took place in the decade of the 1880s while the Christmas tree will be dressed with many of the society’s collection of period children’s toys of the Victorian era and lit with Victorian Christmas clip-on candles (LED instead of live flame)
The event will also include a display of Victorian era ladies’ dresses of the winter season, Christmas shopping in the gift shop, and cookies and punch. Some individuals may be wandering around in period appropriate clothing, and all guests are invited to wear anything looking Victorian as well!
The event is free and open to the public.
