One day only, December 26 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, is your chance to see the Hanley House decorated for the Holidays. Three generations of the family lived in the house for over 100 years and you will see how the house was decorated across the years. This is a rare chance at a peek inside the historic Hanley House and is a great way to share our area’s history with visitors and guests. Hot drinks and cookies will be available.

$10 for adults and $5 for children 12 or under.

Celebrate the start of the season with us at the festive tree lighting ceremony. Enjoy caroling and storytelling followed by evening holiday shopping in our historic landmark town.

Admission: FREE * Wreath Making Kits: $20/non-Members, $15/SOHS Members

Hanley Farm * 1053 Hanley Road * Central Point

When you’ve finished your post-Thanksgiving “Black Friday” shopping, plan to head over to Hanley Farm for Southern Oregon Historical Society’s annual wreath making workshop. To make your own Holiday Wreath, wreath making kits will provide all you’ll need: grapevine or fruitwood bases, evergreens, berries, and trimmings such as dried hydrangeas and pinecones - all from Hanley Farm vines and the yards of volunteers. Wires, clippers, and ribbon will also be available. For that extra holiday “pizzazz,” by all means, bring your own special ribbon, trimming, and ornaments!

An additional treat - Santa will be there! Here’s an opportunity for children to whisper their secrets into Santa’s ear. And, one of Santa’s elves will have a candy cane for each child. OH! Be sure to bring your camera to take a photo with Santa and our Big Red Christmas truck.

Hosted by the Rogue Valley YMCA
