Christmas Tea At The Oldest House

The Oldest House in Laceyville, PA, will be decked out in holiday cheer for the annual Christmas Tea, December 6 and 7, from 1 to 4 p.m. each day.

The women from the Oldest House Historical Society have been hosting the festive event for 26 years, giving visitors to this 1781 structure a chance to marvel in the beauty of the Christmas season.

Each of the three large rooms on the first floor will house beautiful fresh Christmas trees, decorated with care by several local families. Children will be mesmerized by the electric train set up as they watch the miniature choo-choo make its way around the track. There will also be a display of snow globes, belonging to a local collector.

A variety of refreshments will be served, including homemade cookies and candies, coffee, mulled cider, punch, and - of course - tea!

There is no admission charge for the Christmas Tea, however, a freewill offering will be gratefully accepted. All proceeds benefit the Oldest House Historical Society.

Regarded as the oldest frame house in the Endless Mountains Region, the Oldest House is wonderfully preserved with every chink and corner revealing a story of the simple living of the past and legends of history.

For more information, call (570) 869–1540.
