Derby Historical Society to host 'Twelfth Night' celebration


Sharing information from a Facebook event page:

"Please join us as the Derby Historical Society marks the end of the Christmas season with our annual Twelfth Night Celebration. 
"This event features tours of General David Humphreys House by costumed docents. Spark up a conversation with one of our historical actors and take yourself back to an earlier time in American history.
"Try our mulled cider and punch alongside some samplings of colonial cookery and modern day baked goods. There will be demonstrations of colonial skills such as spinning and weaving. 

"We will also have open hearth cooking demonstrations during this event and a Dickens' Reading at 3 p.m. in Lady Humphreys’ Parlor.
"Be sure to visit our Gift Shop to find that unique item. We have colonial toys, locally made candles, history books, and watercolor prints of Derby’s yesteryear.
"For more information call 203-735-1908. Limited parking is available in back of the house. Additional on-street parking is available on nearby Thomas Street."


The Humphreys House is at 37 Elm St., Ansonia.
