The Clinton County Historical Association Announces: “The Museum’s Annual Holiday Open House”
A special opportunity to visit the Museum and find unique gifts for family and friends. The first 25 Open House visitors each day will receive free gifts, one per family.
December 7-8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day
The Clinton County Historical Association (CCHA) will hold its annual Holiday Open House on Saturday, Dec. 7, and Sunday, Dec. 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. The Open House, a North Country holiday tradition, provides a special opportunity to visit the Museum and find unique gifts for family and friends. The first 25 Open House visitors each day will receive free gifts, one per family.
The Museum shop has three limited-edition keepsake tree ornaments available for purchase. This year’s ornament depicts the Bluff Point Lighthouse on Valcour Island. Ornaments celebrating the Witherill Hotel and Plattsburgh’s Old City Hall are also available while supplies last. The Museum’s goal is to preserve a different aspect of Clinton County and create cherished keepsakes and heirlooms. All items are limited editions and will not be available again once they are sold out.
Along with many unique and interesting artifacts, the Museum has an outstanding collection of books about local history by local authors. Two limited-quantity books, “Clinton County Memories Volume II” and “The Plattsburgh Military Reservation, A Pictorial History,” by Richard B. Frost and Melissa A. Peck, are still available. Books on the Witherill Hotel and the Royal Savage, as well as several of Jim Millard’s books on local history, will also be for sale. And visitors can browse our gift shop’s used book section for old county history books donated by our members.
The museum galleries will be open with a media show of Old Plattsburgh photos and a virtual tour of the U.S. Oval running throughout each day.
