Holiday House Boutique

Both a shopping extravaganza and opportunity to tour this historic home, the James Johnston Holiday House takes place the first two weekends in November every year.

The house is filled with decorated Christmas trees in every room (usually highlighting each year's chosen decorating theme), one-of-a-kind holiday wreaths, hand-crafted jewelry and arts and crafts by many local and regional artists, gourmet treats and a huge selection of purchased gift and holiday items. 

No children, please. Admission is $10 per person and is usable  all four days. A queen-sized empty shopping bag allows visitors to shop throughout the house with one convenient checkout.

Visitors can also take a self-guided tour of the house as they shop. Signs are posted in each room near the doorway. It's a wonderful way to learn about this extraordinary house while shopping for holiday gifts. 

Proceeds benefit the James Johnston House Foundation.
