Swiss Historical Society's winter homestead event reset for Jan. 11
The Swiss Community Historical Society will reschedule “Christmas at the Homestead” on Saturday, Jan. 11, from 1 to 7 p.m.
The holiday open house event was cancelled in December due to weather. The public is invited to tour the decorated house while snacking on homemade treats and listening to songs of the season.
Guests can watch bread being baked in the fireplace oven, hand dip a candle, play a game of checkers, shop in the gift shop and chat with staff about the history of the house and typical life in the 1840s.
Guests arriving at dusk will be able to see the home lit by candles much like it might have been in 1843.
Admission is free but donations will be gratefully accepted. The Homestead is located at 8350 Bixel Road, Bluffton.
