A Christmas Through the Ages
Enjoy this special time of the year as we explore how different generations of the McQuesten family celebrated Christmas. The historic home is fully decorated including three Christmas trees complete with period toys and beloved artifacts nestled underneath. The dining room table is beautifully set with the original china the family used for Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.
