FITZWILLIAM NH HISTORICAL SOCIETY HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE

The Amos J. Blake House Museum will open for a festive holiday Open House on Saturday, December 10th between 11-4.  At this time the FHS will also take part in the 7th Annual Currier & Ives Cookie Tour organized by East Hill Farm.
    Once again, volunteers Rick Hoyt & Valerie Coates will reprise their roles as Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus, ready to greet visitors in their Victorian inspired attire.  “Scrooge” was such an enormous hit last year he agreed to grace us with his presence again this year!  Visit with the mischievous elves in their curled up shoes.  Partake of homemade refreshments while enjoying the lovely, adorned tree.  Stroll through the bedecked rooms of our beautiful museum.  Come and see what an old-fashioned Christmas can be. 
    The Cookie Tour costs $10 each and offers you 15 different public locations to visit.  A portion of the proceeds from the Cookie Tour will benefit the Helping Hand Center in Troy which benefits those in need from Fitzwilliam and Troy.  We encourage you to open your hearts to those in need during this special time of the year.  Find additional information at the East Hill Farm website.
    The FHS Open House at the Blake Museum is free and open to the public. 
    The Amos J. Blake House Museum will close after the Open House until March 2012.  Research hours will resume by mid March with regular Tuesday afternoon hours in 2012. 
    The Fitzwilliam Historical Society wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
