Osborne Homestead in Derby decked out for a sparkling season

I took this photo of Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby today on my way to visit the adjacent Osborne Homestead Museum. 
This year's decorating theme for the holiday season at the homestead, 500 Hawthorne Ave., is "A Sparkling Holiday."
The decorations created by area garden club members are beautiful! 


This was taken next to the entrance to the Colonial Revival-style home. 

Tours will run through Dec. 17. 
They will be offered Thursdays through Sundays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. 
On Fridays, Dec. 2, 9, and 16, the museum will present “Twilight Tours” to show off the shimmering glow of the decorations from 4-7 p.m.  

I look forward to visiting the museum each year on the day after Thanksgiving. No shopping for me! 


Stay tuned for more photos in the next issue of The Valley Voice newsletter.
