The Mountainside Restoration Committee invites all families with children to attend their annual Family Gingerbread Open House on Sunday, December 15, from 1 - 4pm. Both the Hetfield House and the Levi Cory House will be decorated for the holidays to welcome community members.

The Hetfield House will host many interactive events and activities for children, including decorating gingerbread-themed ornaments, making mini holiday arrangements, a guessing contest, mulled apple cider and baked goods to enjoy - all surrounded by festive holiday décor and live music by the Governor Livingston Band bagpipers (1:00 pm) and the Deerfield Middle School Instrumental Music students (1:30 p.m.)  Despite their busy work preparing for the holiday, Mr. & Mrs. Claus promise to visit the children and share holiday cheer. Bring your cameras for pictures!

On both days, the Levi Cory House Holiday Boutique will be open featuring Holiday décor items, ornaments, jewelry, gifts, crafts and other curiosities – both new and vintage. Items by local crafters and Mountainside specific items will be available as well, however in limited quantities, so shop early for the best selection. We look forward to sharing this wonderful holiday tradition with you!
