‘A Country Christmas’ Sets Return To Montrose Schoolhouse

COLTS NECK, NJ — Seasonal refreshments, holiday music and more will fill the historic Montrose Schoolhouse when "A Country Christmas” returns to Colts Neck in December.

From 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7, the Colts Neck Historical Preservation Committee (CNHPC) will sponsor the free traditional holiday fest at the old Montrose Schoolhouse on the corner of Montrose Road and Cedar Drive.

During the event, CNHPC Chairperson Mary Pahira will read “Twas The Night Before Christmas” to children and adults alike, and Santa will take time out from his busy schedule to pose for free photos.

Inside the schoolhouse, the Christmas tree will also be dressed in decorations appropriate to the period.

“With each passing year, we continue to have a strong turnout and receive great praise for this wonderful town tradition, and we hope to continue this tradition for years to come,” Pahira said.

“Everyone on the CNHPC enjoys preparing and opening the Montrose Schoolhouse for special events that highlight our township’s unique role in 19th-century America," Pahira continued. "We invite everyone to share in the warmth and historic significance of the Montrose Schoolhouse during this community celebration.”

The Montrose Schoolhouse is located at the corner of Montrose Road and Cedar Drive.
