The holiday season
offers each of us a chance to reminisce, connect with family and friends and
find joy in our traditions. One of the most
anticipated traditions in Woodbury has become the Glebe House Museum’s Holiday
Gala.
‘Home for the Holidays in the Hollow’ Gala is
slated for Friday, December 2 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at The Glebe House, 49
Hollow Road in Woodbury. Guests will be
treated to savory hors d’ oeuvres and an array of wines to toast the holidays;
complimented by the elegantly decorated museum.
In this magical candlelit setting, the rooms of the museum will be
brimming with good cheer and beautifully decorated. All of the one of a kind wreaths, swags and
table top decorations will light up your holiday and be available for
purchase. Guests will also have a
wonderful opportunity to wrap up their Christmas gift list at the Silent
Auction where original art work, one of a kind jewelry, fine handwovens,
silver, and other treasures will be found.
The cost to attend this year’s event is $25 per person.
To continue the Holiday
Festival, the Museum will hold its open house on Saturday, December 3 from 10AM
to 3PM. The public may enjoy the
beautiful decorations to purchase, along with holiday gift items. Visitors will enjoy experiencing life in this
Revolutionary War era house during the holidays re-enacted by adult and youth
volunteers. The costumed docents will
give first person accounts of the Marshall family who lived at the “Glebe” from
1771-1786, and share stories about how the family prepared for the holiday
season. Admission is free for the day.
All proceeds from this
weekend event will help support The Glebe House Museum & Gertrude Jekyll
Garden. For more information and to
