Christmas Through the Ages
To celebrate the holiday season, the Haddam Historical Society will host Christmas Through the Ages at the historic Thankful Arnold House Museum where visitors can step back, slow down and savor the sights, sounds and smells of the past.
The museum will feature three rooms specially curated to reflect different time periods from early America to the mid-2oth century. The historic kitchen of the house will focus on Colonial Connecticut and will feature gingerbread delights and delectables. The Front Parlor will highlight the elaborate and sumptuous Victorian period while the Back Parlor will illustrate a sleek, modern 1950s Christmas. Guest curators will create unique and memorable vignettes of holiday’s past.
The Society gift shop will be packed with a variety of goodies including themed gifts to capture the spirit of Christmas Through the Ages including old-fashioned candy, Colonial -period toys, locally handcrafted goods, kissing balls, holiday cards with scenes of area landmarks and so much more. In addition, visitors can enter our holiday raffle for fabulous prizes including a stay at the Mystic Inn, Goodspeed Tickets, Restaurant gift certificates and a one-of-a-kind, luxury, handcrafted birdhouse. This is an event not to be missed.
