The McQuesten's Childhood Christmas
at Whitehern Historic House & Garden

Enjoy this special time of year as the McQuestens look back on the Christmas of their childhood. Once a year we reveal the family's toys under a tree adorned with whimsical decorations in the style of the 1880s. The table is set with the China they used for Christmas and New Year's from the 1850s when they visited Grandpa, to the 1930s when Tom entertained his fellow politicians. Cedar roping and satin ribbon complete the picture.

Time: 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Cost: Regular admission rates apply to the museum.
