Historical Society plans Christmas program

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just two short months away.
As many of you know, last year the Friends of the Stetson House merged
with the Hanover Historical Society to become one organization. This
year will be the first year that the Hanover Historical Society will
host a Christmas program. While the town cherishes the memories the
Friends of the Stetson House gave us over the years, the Historical
Society hopes to make the program their own, while adding different
touches.
The program will be a Festival of Trees. The event will focus on
historic themes to educate the public. For the past few months, the
Hanover Historical Society has been working on creating a new room
layout at their headquarters, the Stetson House Museum. This Museum of
Hanover History will feature a chronological tour with exhibits that
are time period accurate and interactive. This year’s program will
have very moderate Christmas decorations, allowing the museum exhibits
and collection to shine through. The tour will have costumed guides in
museum rooms talking about Christmas in Hanover’s past.
Instead of decorating the Stetson House, they are asking families,
organizations, and corporations to decorate and donate an artificial
Christmas tree of their choosing. This Christmas tree will then be
raffled off on the Sunday of the program. Proceeds will go towards the
mission of the Hanover Historical Society. Museum staff will be happy
to help regarding possible themes for your tree. They hope you will
join them in decorating a tree, and celebrating in the season of
warmth and giving.
