MAYFIELD - The Mayfield Historical Society brought old-fashioned
Christmas cheer to the Rice Homestead Museum on Saturday.

"Everything here is decorated like an old-fashioned Christmas; there
are no electric lights," society President Sylvia Parker said.

The society hosted its 22nd annual Old Fashioned Christmas Open House
on Saturday. Society members decorated the house from the inside out
and dressed in colonial-era clothing, inviting guests inside to escape
the snow. Both fireplaces in the museum were lit, creating a cozy
atmosphere. Every room had fresh holly and candles. There were two
Christmas trees decorated in the homestead - one fake and one live.
