All are invited to stroll through a festive “enchanted forest” of 20 lit and decorated trees evenings from
4-7 between Dec. 12 to Jan. 6, free of charge. The Winter Wonderland will be on the Society grounds behind the Dan Raymond House (next to the Town Hall parking lot). 
Each tree in the forest will be sponsored and decorated by local businesses, organizations and families. 

The opening celebration will be on Dec. 12 from 4 to 7pm. A second celebration will be held on Dec. 19, also from 4 to 7pm.
We invite the community to enjoy these Saturday evenings of holiday cheer, which will include a visit from Santa, music, warming by fire pits, and the Festival of Holidays at the Old Stone Store for you to do holiday shopping.


​A special "Remembrance Tree" will be set up for you to create personalized ornaments dedicated to friends, loved ones and heroes.  We'll be collecting 
Toys-for-Tots donations as well as non-perishable food items for the Sheffield Food Pantry.
