Holidays at Winters Heritage House Museum

Experience the sights and sounds of the holiday season at the Winters Heritage House Museum. 

  

As you enter, enjoy our charming village window scene, followed by our original 1790s Scots-Irish log cabin, decorated with a gingerbread holiday theme. 

  

Warm up by the hearth fire in the kitchen, decorated with greenery and fruit just as it would have been in the late 18th century. Enjoy hot cider and cookies, compliments of the museum. 

  

Step into our German log cabin to learn about early German holiday traditions in Elizabethtown. 

  

Then stroll, next door, to the beautifully decorated H.U. Coble House, styled as it would have appeared in December of 1877. Our Heritage House Crafters have created an atmosphere full of Victorian Christmas splendor.
