This year, the Barclay Farmstead has transformed into a Dickens-themed holiday house great for Christmas picture opportunities. Its last date that it will be open to the public is Sunday, Dec. 1 from 1 to 4 p.m.

The display features department houses, pieces of Victorian clothing, as well as a wedding dress from a wedding in 1854 from the Barclay Friends collection. The groom was the grandson of a Revolutionary Colonel who fought alongside George Washington and was a personal friend of his.
