CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS TOUR OF THE SHRIVER HOUSE MUSEUM
Christmas
offered a few moments of cheer that would help brighten the lives of those left
at home. See how Christmas was celebrated during the Civil War while
fathers, sons, and husbands were separated from their loved ones.
Walk through the Shrivers’ home decorated for an 1860's Christmas and learn
about holiday traditions and decorations of the period. After the tour
enjoy hot cider and holiday treats in the new Museum Shop.
We are delighted to have Civil War artist Amy Lindenberger
who will presenting several pieces of her work.
You might find just the right Christmas gift for that special someone.
