The grounds will be transformed by more than ten miles of holiday lights into a twinkling wonderland with holiday displays, family-friendly activities including a marshmallow-roast, a reindeer scavenger hunt, live performances, a visit with Santa Claus in the Model T, and children can get up close to baby animals, take carousel rides, and more.
Among the features of this season’s Gardens Aglow:
• On December 2-4, cuddle with baby goats, piglets, chickens and chicks, bunnies, and other barnyard babies.
• The “Heritage Holiday Express” features a two level model trains display.
• Get décor ideas from designer-created holiday tablescapes. Designers include Irina MacPhee from Pastiche Cape Cod, Olive Chase of The Casual Gourmet, and Richard McLaughlin of Fresh Interiors.
• See ice sculptures created, and pose for photos with them.
• Get some holiday food at The Magnolia Café including hot chocolate, mulled wine and cider.
For the third year, Heritage Museums & Gardens is partnering with the Sandwich Food Pantry to help area children who need school supplies. Please help by bringing new glue sticks, pencil boxes or pouches, spiral notebooks, highlighter markers, thumb drives, three-ring binders, and #2 pencils. Donation boxes will be set up in The Shop at Heritage.
