The Ticonderoga Historical Society invites organizations and individuals to participate in the 26th Annual Festival of Trees, taking place at the Hancock House from November 26 through December 31.
Each year community organizations, businesses, school groups and clubs assist in decorating the Hancock House by providing a decorated tree, centerpiece, gingerbread house or other festive holiday art.
The highlight of the Festival of Trees is the champagne reception held Sunday, December 4 from 1 until 4 p.m. Each year, more than 30 trees are featured around the stately historic house, many featuring a specific theme or decorative motif.
Trees can be any size; however fire regulations allow only artificial trees to be used. Additionally, lighting must comply with UL approval codes. Decorated trees must be in place no later than November 26 and must be removed the week of January 2nd.
To secure a space, or for additional questions, contact the staff at the Hancock House at 518-585-7868.
Founded in 1897 and chartered in 1909, the Ticonderoga Historical Society advances the preservation and interpretation of history through its collections, programs and community outreach. The Historical Society makes area history an integral part of community life by connecting past and present.
