Victorian lace handkerchiefs and teacups decorate a special Victorian tree in the Victorian sitting room; chickens will surprise you on the hallway tree amidst a display about the town's former poultry farms; handmade ornaments are displayed on other Christmas trees. Model railroad trains will be running in the center room with their own decorated tree.
