Coming to the end of the month in October, the Museum is closed and our Candlelight Harvest Dinner was a success!
We drew the winning raffle ticket for the quilt made by Nancy Bowen, and the winner is Barb Delzio of Glover, VT. Congrats Barb!
We are getting set for the winter, when we hibernate the Museum and get office work done. Stay safe this winter and we’ll see you next May!
Experience hospitality from the 19th century at the historic Samuel Read Hall House with a convivial evening of food and drink, featuring a bounteous menu of fresh local produce.
This year’s Candlelight Harvest Dinner is on Saturday, October 15, 2011 at 6 PM.
Seating is limited to 44 people, so reserve your place early.
Reservations can be made by calling the museum at 754-2022 or registering on-line, www.oldstonehousemuseum.org .
The cost for the dinner is $75 per person, which includes all food, drink, taxes and the gratuity. All of the proceeds will benefit programs at the museum.
