On December 13 from 10:00 pm to 1:30 pm, the Rochester Historical Society will be at the Plumb Library Holiday Fund Raiser. We’ll be right there as you come in the door, and we hope you will stop to say hi and to check out our items for sale. We’re Santa approved with many potential Christmas gifts. Along with our usual clothing, we have a new item, a fleece vest with our Rochester logo embroidered. Some of our board members have been testing them out and find them warm and comfortable. They come in all sizes and in black, red, navy, bright blue, and the Historical Society favorite of iron gray. They wash well and don’t pill. Definitely, the look for 2026.
On December 14 at 1:30 pm, it’s Christmas at the Rochester Historical Society Museum at 355 County Road, Rochester.
Our rare Vocalion organ will be the star of our holiday music and sing-along. Sheila Perry will be playing our organ, and she and Tom will lead us in singing along to favorite songs and carols. It’s truly a magical experience to enjoy this music in a 19th century church. It is an oasis of calm during the busy holidays.
There will be hot cider and cocoa with goodies after the concert. The price of admission is an unwrapped gift for a teen or child.
