Child Admission

Step into a Victorian Christmas and see how paper, scissors, and imagination once carried holiday wishes from hand to hand. This event explores the season through cards, scrap, and handmade keepsakes. Guided by our mission to tell compelling, relevant stories, we&rsquo;ll trace the quiet drama of ink, ornament, and memory. Join us as we unfold these &ldquo;paper dreams&rdquo; and consider the stories we still choose to send today. Hearthstone is brimming with hand-crafted holiday d&eacute;cor, lavishly decorated trees in every room, and our docents dressed in their finest Victorian holiday attire ready to welcome you into the home of Henry, Cremora, and Kitty Rogers. The evening events are &ldquo;open-house&rdquo; type of affairs with no set guided tour. Rather, holiday merry-makers are encouraged to wander from room to room to take in the sights at their own pace. Our docents will be on-hand in each room, wearing their Victorian holiday finest, to explain Victorian holiday traditions and to answer any questions that may arise. The evenings also feature traditional Christmas carols played on our 1875 Kranich and Bach square grand piano as well as other musical performances. After seeing the paper traditions throughout the house, guests are encouraged to create your own decorations to take home with you! &nbsp;Be sure to leave enough time to explore our lower lever exhibits and activities. Plus Santa will be visiting!&nbsp; Please see a separate listing for the dates and times of Santa, in his Victorian finery, stopping in to visit with the children.
