1850's Delphi Christmas


A gentleman walking the grounds, in fashion.


This is a "Hair wreath" when people passed away they would collect locks of hair from the deceased and make these to remember the individual. At first it sounds gross, but remember they didn't have photos at that time to remember someone by.





Snack time with "old fashioned treats"






This grandpa was making wooden ornaments for all the kids.
The kids thought that it would be fun to dress up, it was!

Ehre making a clay pot!








Stain Glass Kaleidoscope

This was a really cute activity, and only 20 minutes away. The kids loved dressing up and playing on the canal boat.
