The best way to learn about historic houses is to look at them closely, and the most fun way to look at them closely is to do a puzzle showing a wonderful historic house! So, we made a unique and interesting collection of Historic House Puzzles for you to enjoy!
Festive sugared fruit centerpieces were quite popular for holiday decorating during the 19th century for those who could afford the luxuries of imported fruit in winter and white granulated sugar to coat it with. It was both decorative and helped to preserve the fresh fruit longer.
This Victorian Christmas tradition is revived annually for our holiday open house, holding pride of place at the center of the table in the restored 1827 kitchen (now the dining room) of Whitten House.
The restoration of this room, including the reconstruction of the functional cooking hearth and brick oven, is an example project in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
