The Warren County Historical Society invites you to experience the holidays of yesteryear at the Victorian Christmas Open House on Friday, December 2nd from 6:00-8:30PM.  The feeling of Christmas will fill your senses with the sights and sounds throughout the historic Struthers-Wetmore-Schimmelfeng House. Decorated by the Warren Garden Club, the atmosphere will transform you back to Christmases of years gone by.

Enjoy refreshments while listening to the lyrical sounds of the talented Youngsville High School string orchestra as they play holiday pieces in the spacious front parlor. The music of John Bowler will add to the ambiance as he plays an antique parlor guitar in the upstairs Victorian parlor. Children are invited to string popcorn, an old-time Christmas tradition, as they sit around one of the many Christmas trees. As a special treat, guests will have the opportunity to meet local authors Josh Cotton and Marcia Kleinert.

Visit the gift shop area and discover some intriguing new books recently added to our inventory this season. In addition to the new books, we are offering a holiday cookbook, “Through the Years: A Collection of Warren County Recipes,” which will also be available for purchase. It highlights our county’s culinary history, with recipes from local cookbooks housed in the Historical Society’s library.  We also have playing cards, Kinzua vanity plates, DVDs, coloring books and more.
