How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Chester Inn Museum
How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Chester Inn Museum
Join the Chester Inn State Historic Site and Museum on Saturday, November 25 for readings of the holiday classic, Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! This program is part of the town of Jonesborough’s “Whoville” holiday celebration which takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This program will feature a reading of the “Grinch” in the restored parlor room as well as a display of holiday items from our archival collection. The Chester Inn will also talk about the history of Victorian holiday celebration customs and the practice of storytelling during the holidays. Each program will be approximately 15-20 minutes.
This year there will be readings at noon, 1:15, 2 and 2:45 p.m. Due to spacing issues, the attendance of each program will be for the first 20 people. Attendees can pick up their tickets at the Chester Inn Museum on November 25. Tickets for the first two programs will be available starting at 11 a.m., and tickets will be available for the other programs starting at 1 p.m.
