“An Old-Time Christmas at the Homestead” is the theme of the Christmas Season open house to be held by the Swiss Community Historical Society of Bluffton and Pandora at its historic 1843 Swiss Homestead, 8350 Bixel Road, on Saturday, Dec. 1, from 1 to 6 p.m.
Christmas decorations of the 19th century will highlight the occasion, which will also feature live music and needlework in the parlor, hearth-cooking at the large kitchen fireplace, and candle-making in the basement of the recently-restored Schumacher House.
