Merwinsville Hotel Holiday Show

The historic Merwinsville Hotel in Gaylordsville, CT, will once again be transformed into a holiday wonderland for its annual two-weekend Christmas/Holiday Show opening Nov. 24 at 10 a.m. for shopping and enjoying the holiday experience.

The miniature Dickens Village with a model train traveling through and a miniature World’s Fair, as well as collections of Santas and nutcrackers are all on display.

Festivities begin Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 24 to 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and continue the following weekend, Dec. 1 to 3.

For those looking for special, one-of-a-kind gifts, there will be photography, fine artwork, pottery, dolls, woven wear, felted holiday crafts, jewelry, décor and ornaments available for purchase. Some of the area’s most talented artists take advantage of the shows offered at the hotel to sell their work and support the ongoing restoration of the historic building. Fresh cut trees and wreaths from Meadowbrook Gardens of New Milford will also be on sale. A portion of all sales benefit the hotel.

Donations are welcome to help support this 100 percent volunteer organization. However, admission is free.

The Merwinsville Hotel is located at 1 Brown’s Forge Road in Gaylordsville, CT, only 15 minutes from Kent, Sherman, New Milford and the Harlem Valley/Wingdale Railroad Station. For further information, call 860-350-4443 or visit www.merwinsvillehotel.org
