Woodstock, Connecticut - Roseland Cottage conducts its eighth annual holiday tour of the museum on Sunday, December 6, 12:00-4:00 p.m. Admission is free. Donations are welcomed.
This special tour highlights the traditions, food and festivities that were a part of the Bowen family holiday celebration. During this once-a-year program, costumed interpreters lead visitors through the first-floor of the museum, decorated with the finest Victorian trimmings, and share holiday stories from the written accounts of the Bowen family Christmas of 1887. In the adjacent Carriage Barn, the Roseland Cottage gift shop is open, and refreshments and readings from Dickens’ A Christmas Carol are available.
Appointments for group tours (10 or more people) of the holiday-decorated museum can made through January 10 for a fee of $5 per person. Call 860-928-4074 for more information.
