People of all ages perused historic maps, old-fashioned clothing, ornate furniture, Fleischmann's's gin bottles and many of the other treasures at annual holiday party and open house on Dec. 11.

About 80 people total visited the historic Victorian house on Union Ave. where Santa (aka Calvert E. Schlick Jr., a museum trustee) greeted children with a bag full of toys.

The Mary Crescenzo trio provided holiday music while guests enjoyed many different holiday treats - from penne to cider to cookies. Click through the photos for more.
