We came to the Granger Homestead to view the Festival of the Trees. Different organizations in the area decorated Christmas Trees which were to be auctioned off to benefit Granger Homestead. The main building was a lovely example of period architecture. The staff was eager to tell us the story of the building, the people who lived there, and, of course, a bit about the trees on display.Although viewing the entire collection of trees only took 20 minutes or so, everyone enjoyed the visit.

Christmas Festival was disappointing, parking lay out was poor, should be front entrance, walking to far in cold to get in, shouldnt be extra money for festival of trees. Tents were warm, nice displays though.

This is a really neat historical place. We go to the annual Christkindl Market and have gone to the Civil War Days a few times.

We had a great time. Sadly confusion on Friday with shuttle bus drivers and volunteers had us waiting almost an hour to get back to our cars at the high school parking lot.

We went to a small wedding here and it was nice and very unique. A carriage museum doesnt seem interesting until you see the craftsmanship put into each one. If that kind of thing interests you this is a cool place.

This show had a good variety of things on offer. They should work on reaching higher quality artisans.The heated tents were comfortable, the mud inside and out was not. Buses used to transport us from nearby school parking lots ran frequently. Being from out of town,I didnt know there were 2 middle school buildings-- fair warning! The driver made sure I found my car. My thanks to her

I feel like they’re making it harder to attend Christkindl. They waited too long to put down straw so the entrances to the tents were a mud slide you couldn’t avoid. Not a fan of a shuttle at all. The line standing in the rain and mud was as long as your arm. If you’re going to force the shuttle, people should be able to step on to a waiting bus. The heat didn’t work in one tent. So cold you could see your breath.

Heated tents was a plus. Lots of craft vendors. Problem was Parking... town restricted parking on main road and way too many side streets near Homestead. Shuttle at school only had parking for @50 cars, so had to drive around waiting for people to leave so parking spots opened up.
