Wallisch Homestead Presents: Christmas Past

The Wallisch Homestead will once again offer a glimpse into Christmas Past. Each evening between 5
and 9 pm the Creamery will be lit up with a view of Christmas Past. Pack up the family and head over to
peek through the windows and view a scene from Christmastime of yesteryear. As the piped in holiday
music fills the evening air visitors can play, I Spy the Night Before Christmas. Clement Clarke Moore’s
famous poem is posted as well as a list of the items to be found. A few extra items were added to this
year’s exhibit, including another room. The list can also be found on their website:
wallischhomestead.org.
Wally, the Wallisch Cow is also making an appearance again this year. Each Thursday Wally will move
within the display to another location. If you spot him, send an email: include the date, his location and
your name to be entered into a drawing for a pair of 2024 Music Festival tickets. Last year’s winner was
Laurie Dever of Hewitt. Send your submission to wallischhomestead@gmail.com
As you look through the windows see if you can spot the true meaning of Christmas: Peace, Joy and
Hope in this live diorama. Sue Lynch, FOWH Chair requests that visitors announce their visit by providing
feedback and comments through Facebook, Instagram, and signing the visitor book.
2022 saw many projects completed at the Homestead. The garage received a new roof and upgraded
electrical and garage door openers. The barn received a complete interior transformation: ceiling, walls,
doors and the floor all received a makeover. Lynch added, “memberships and donations as well as sweat
equity help us to move forward. Monthly meetings are the first Thursday of the month at 7 pm and will
be held in the library throughout the cold winter months. All interested folks are welcome to attend.
Please consider memberships and year end donations.”
Wallisch Homestead a 501(c)(3) located at 65 Lincoln Ave in West Milford is dedicated to sustaining and
improving the property and grounds for cultural, educational and recreational purposes.
