Plan to visit the Keep Homestead Museum at 35 Ely Road in Monson when Lorraine German presents “How Santa Claus Came to Town” on Sunday, December 8 at 1:30 pm.
Lorraine is the owner of Mad River Antiques in North Granby, Connecticut. She will share information about New Amsterdam’s St. Nicholas, the marketing strategy used by members of the New York Historical Society, and finally the jolly old elf we grew up with.
This performance starts at 1:30 pm in the festive house and is open to the public free of charge though donations are welcome. Visitors are welcome to tour the museum from 1:00–3:30 pm to view new Christmas button displays courtesy of the Monson Button Club and to enjoy light refreshments. Handmade note cards featuring buttons are for sale in the museum gift shop.
Join us outside for hot roasted chestnuts compliments of the Replanting Monson Tree Committee and students from the Tantasqua Chestnut Club.
