The Merry Mercantile Christmas Shop at the Highland House Museum at 151 East Main Street will host their open house on Saturday, Nov. 7 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
“There are 20 local artisans, which includes seven new ones this year displaying their products," Liz Odland Keister, shop coordinator, said. "All items are reasonably priced and vary from jams, jellies, honey, home décor, Christmas decorations, knitted wear, jewelry, cards, candles and many other things. Buyers know these talented artisans and realize they are getting a quality product.”
Books on local history and books written by local authors are also available as well membership gift certificates. All shop proceeds benefit the Historical Society.
The Historical Society is committed to supporting local artisans and businesses because they are the ones who support us through their membership, visits to the museum and attending our events. We are very appreciative of anyone who is interested in the history of our county.
Kathy Levo and Helen Ford, decorations coordinators, chose “Our Favorite Collections” theme this year. Collections range from teacups, Santas, snowmen, nativity scenes, books, Christmas movies and musicals, butterflies and bees and more.
Trees in 15 rooms have been decorated by organizations, groups or individuals from throughout the county. The stairway and tree in the hall provide the ideal backdrop for that special photo. Visitors from several surrounding counties come to the museum during the holidays to see the trees.
The Highland House will be open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons from 1-4 p.m. with extended hours of 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on the day after Thanksgiving. We will be closed for Thanksgiving. Watch for more information on Facebook, our website at www.hchistoricalsociety.weebly.com or call the museum at (937) 393-3392.
To ensure the safety of visitors and volunteers, all health and safety directives will be followed. Masks must be worn, social distancing must be practiced, hand sanitizer will be available the building and a designated entrance and exit will be marked.
