Christmas in Fall River
Found this in the Providence Journal online:
Christmas in Fall River
There’s more to the Fall River Historical Society than its big Lizzie Borden exhibit. The 1843 granite Greek Revival mansion that houses the society is decorated for the holiday and is hosting a Victorian Holiday Open House complete with music and other festivities today from 1 to 5 p.m. and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to noon. The Historical Society is at 451 Rock St., Fall River, and admission is $6, $4 for children 6 to14, children 5 and younger free. Call (508) 679-1071
FYI: the FRHS has taken down the Lizzie Borden exhibit for the holiday season and it won’t be back on display until April. So don’t expect to view any LB artifacts among the pretty decorations there!
FYI 2: The FRHS will be totally closed for the first time in many years for the months of January, February, and March. No gift shop, no research, no open houses, no tea room. They plan to put the time to great use in organizing the collections and finishing a few projects started in recent months. Seems the Historical Society used to keep this schedule in the past, and are returning to it out of necessity of accomplishing its many goals.
