'A Storybook Holiday' awaits at Osborne Homestead Museum in Derby

DERBY - Visit the Osborne Homestead Museum this holiday season and enjoy “A Storybook Holiday.” 
From Aesop’s Fables to The Snow Queen, each room represents the most popular children’s tales in Western literature. 

Tours will run from Nov. 23-Dec. 16 and will be offered Thursdays through Sundays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
From 4-7 p.m. Fridays, Nov. 30, Dec. 7, and 14, the museum will present “Twilight Tours” to display the shimmering glow of the decorations.

For more than 30 years, volunteers have created gorgeous holiday decorations at the museum. 
The volunteers are members of the Derby Garden Society, Derby Neck Library and Hubbell Farm, Garden Club of Orange, Long Hill Garden Club, Naugatuck Garden Club, Olde Ripton Garden Club of Shelton, Jen Plasky of AIFD, Women Redefining Retirement Milford, Woodbridge Garden Club, and Ye Olde Kellogg Garden Club. 

This year’s holiday theme will pay tribute to the Osborne family and children’s literature. The family promoted literacy in various ways. Major Wilbur Osborne along with local teachers and neighbors founded Derby Neck Library at 307 Hawthorne Ave.
Later on Wilbur's daughter Frances Osborne Kellogg became president of the board of directors and donated gifts to the library. 
Frances’ aunt Helen Krehbiel wrote stories and poems with moral lessons. 

Visit the Osborne Homestead Museum and open a page into the wonderful world of “Storybook Holiday”! 
Admission is free; donations are accepted. 
The Osborne Homestead Museum is operated by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. It is located at 500 Hawthorne Ave.
