A peek inside Osborne Homestead in Derby



DERBY - My daughter Allegra and I were fortunate Friday morning to have curator Susan Robinson give us a tour of the beautiful Osborne Homestead Museum.
In a tradition going back more than two decades it was decorated by area garden clubs for the holiday season.
 
Homestead curator/museum educator Susan Robinson shows off the dining room decorated by the Olde Kellogg Garden Society. 

The theme this year is Holiday in Connecticut. The attention to detail is simply stunning! I highly recommend a visit. You won't be disappointed.

The home at 500 Hawthorne Ave. is open for holiday tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday through Dec. 21 and for twilight tours from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Dec. 6, 13 and 20.

 
This tree in the solarium was donated by Jones Family Farms in Shelton.


One of the ornaments on the tree in the solarium. I think it's a dragonfly.



Stay tuned for a story in the New Haven Register.
