Trees & Trimmings at Remick Museum: A Holiday Open House
December 5 | 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
We’ve Decked the Halls — and More!
Step into the glow of the season at Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm and enjoy a nostalgic holiday-time visit filled with trees, traditions, music, memories, and a little old-fashioned Christmas cheer.
Sip a cup of mulled cider as you wander through the Museum Center, where each area features a uniquely trimmed Christmas tree inspired by the exhibit surrounding it. Illuminated by candles or twinkling lights, the trees range from handcrafted and rustic to mid-century and full of sparkle.
The Hearth Room invites you to linger awhile, surrounded by holiday glow and historical Christmas touches. Throughout the Museum Center, festive details offer something new to discover around every corner.
Along the way, you can…
+ Explore Christmas traditions through displays of decorative blow molds, ceramic Christmas trees, holiday villages, and more.
+ Admire vintage Christmas ornaments from the Remick collection.
+ Discover the story behind glass ornaments, from their 19th-century beginnings through today, including how they were designed and marketed.
+ Enjoy a bit of winter bloom, with a display of seasonal bulbs and flowers—and potted paperwhite bulbs available for purchase.
+ Listen to seasonal music as you explore.
+ Settle in for a spell and watch The House Without A Christmas Tree, a heartwarming holiday film set in 1946.
+ Visit the Apothecary to learn about the Tamworth Community Nurse Association, established in 1921 and the only free skilled nursing service in the country. The organization also has historical ties to Remick. While supplies last, their 2026 handcrafted collectible Christmas ornament will be available for purchase.
+ Add to a vintage Christmas puzzle, featuring a jolly Santa Claus.
+ Savor a gingerbread cookie, made from a recipe in the Remick-Made Cookbook, while supplies last.
+ Share a Christmas memory and chat about the traditions and moments stirred up by your visit.
+ Wish the newest members of the farm a Merry Christmas—a pair of goats and two working steers are waiting in the outdoor pens.
