The magnificent 1868 mansion is located at 249 West Main Street, Ephrata.

Shown ready to welcome you to the mansion are Lou Tshudy (left) dressed in period attire and Brian Chelton (right), aka Santa, as he dons his new suit. You will enjoy yuletide decorations, with their beautiful Christmas tree being the centerpiece of the Victorian parlor. A chamber vocal ensemble from Cocalico High School will perform from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The lovely antique organ will come to life as you enjoy holiday sounds just like families during Victorian times. Mark Herr, organist, will perform from 1:00 p.m.
to 3:00 p.m. Mr. Herr is a collector and restorer of historic reed organs with an impressive background in organ music. The Society is
delighted to have him and the student musicians to enrich the afternoon. There will be activities for children, and of course,
Santa Claus will be in attendance, who this year has a handsome new velvet suit. He will be traveling around the mansion to
share Christmas greetings with adults and children alike. Children will receive something to remember (Continued On Page 2A)
