The public is invited to tour the decorated 1843 farmhouse while snacking on homemade treats and listening to songs of the season.

Guests can watch food being prepared in the fireplace, 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 house lit by candles much as it would have been in the 1843.

The Bixel/Basinger Barn will also be open to show progress on its conversion to a SCHS Heritage Center.

The event is free to the public, but donations will be gratefully accepted.
