A selection of toys, games and fringed holiday cards are now on loan to Historic Riverview at Hobson Grove as part of its Victorian Holiday tour. During the tour which runs from now until the Friday before Christmas, visitors to Riverview are transported back in time to Christmas 1890 in the setting of Atwood and Julia Hobson’s three-story Italianate home, including a parlor outfitted with the 19th century holiday rage: the quaint and breath-taking Christmas tree, complete with antique decorations and toys.
Good to know about 19th century manners.
