Article Presented By McDonald’s

(RCHS Release)- The Ross County Historical Society will celebrate the holidays at its Christmas Open House, Saturday, December 10th, from 1pm-4pm at their 45 West Fifth Street, Chillicothe location.

A one-of-a-kind Christmas tree decorated with hundreds of hand-cut paper ornaments will be on display. This is traditional Pennsylvania German craft known as Scherenschnitte by local artist Bonnie Grove; along with a Victorian Christmas parlor with late 19th and early 20th century holiday decorations and toys; and other exhibits including “Toys from the Attic” and “Chillicothe’s Model Railroad.” 

The event will also present an opportunity to see current exhibits in the McKell Library, featuring early Ross County samplers & needlework from the historical society’s textile collections. 

Individuals can enjoy the traditional holiday atmosphere and browse the Museum Store for special holiday gifts, including many books and other hard-to-find publications on local and regional history for those history buffs on your shopping list.

Admission is free.
