Explore a World War II home front Christmas at the Coley House. Start your tour with live jazz from the duo, On The Count of Two, in our visitor's center while you enjoy holiday treats, made from World War II ration recipes. Then follow your tour guide, dressed in period costume, to the historic Coley House - decorated as it would have been during the 1940s, when the last three generations of the Coley family occupied the home. View authentic 1930s and 1940s holiday decorations. Learn how World War II impacted holiday celebrations in America, and listen to original radio broadcasts featuring Bing Crosby and Judy Garland. End your visit with more treats and live jazz holiday tunes.
