1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Come see the Old Library by Lake Afton decked out in its holiday best on December 7, 14 and 21. The Yardley Historical Association will welcome visitors to Holiday Open Houses from 1 to 4 p.m. on each Saturday. The festivities will be held at the Association’s headquarters located in the heart of Yardley at 46 West Afton Avenue.

Amid the fir and the holly, the highlight will be an expansive model train layout with tooting engines, clattering cabooses, and trolleys. With familiar buildings, landmarks, and billboards, the railroad scene will evoke Yardley’s past and present. Standing tall above the trains will be a fir tree gleaming with German glass ornaments and candles. Cutout sugar cookies and hot cider will be offered to all. “Yardley” gifts – “Yardley’s Dream” scented candles, “The Key to Yardley” ornaments, flour sack tea towels, book diaries, books, prints, and paper goods of all sorts – will be available to purchase for holiday gift giving or keeping. In the spirit of the season, the Open Houses are free. Donations are always welcome. Proceeds will benefit the Historical Association’s efforts to maintain the Victorian library building and its collections of books, documents, and ephemera related to Yardley’s history.
