\nStep back in time in the 1860 historic Museum house decorated for the holiday season as it would have been during the Civil War with a Della Robbia fruit arrangement in the transom of the front door. Roping on the banister\, fresh greens\, including cuttings from the 165-year-old boxwood from the premises will decorate the house. A tree decorated with dried fruit\, gilded walnuts\, Marzipan fruit candies\, gingerbread cookies\, antique candle holders\, and Civil War flags will take visitors back to a much simpler time. \;
\nBonnie Shockey\, president of the museum\, will be dressed in Civil War period attire\, as the lady of the house\, Martha Irwin\, may have been in 1860. \; An 1800&rsquo\;s\, one-horse\, drawn sleigh\, made in Mercersburg\, will be displayed on the kitchen porch. \; Experience this historic Civil-War era home after dusk in the low light of the evening.
