Victorian Christmas 2008

Although construction of our new carriage house and renovations to the historic house are progressing well, work will not be completed in time for Victorian Christmas to be held at the Site this year. Instead, a number of the ever popular Victorian Christmas events will take place in several different locations including the wine tasting and silent auction, vintage fashion shows, luncheons, and a candlelight dinner dance. We’ve even added something new this year - a truly elegant Victorian supper & vintage fashion show in a beautifully restored 1901 mansion. All of the special touches traditionally associated with our holiday events – gift boutique sales, basket raffles, premium wines, and delicious foods will be featured at each of the events. The Eighth District Federated Garden Clubs of New York State will create unique holiday arrangements ensuring a true Victorian Christmas experience.   Please join us this year in celebrating Victorian Christmas ~ Away from Home.
