(It is closed December 24 and 25.) It will also be open for viewing during Kenmore’s Twelfth Night Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 3 and 4, 2015. See the website for details.
“This Christmas season, we invited the public to exhibit their dollhouse, room box, covered vignette or unique display for our new holiday exhibit,” said Susan Sherman, Historic Kenmore Plantation education assistant and volunteer coordinator. The George Washington Foundation owns an exact miniature of Historic Kenmore, furnished down to the china on the table and paintings on the walls, which is the centerpiece of the show. “We’re excited that our dollhouse will have a neighborhood during the Christmas season,” Sherman said.
