Christmas Open House

Each year on the first Saturday of December, from 4 to 7 PM, the Billerica Historical Society opens the Clara Sexton House to the public.

The Billerica Garden Club decorates most of the house, and members of the Society decorate the old kitchen and fireplace, and this year, (2024) were able to open the newly renovated upstairs bedroom, with the rope bed and the trundle bed.

The Society’s decorations are mostly those of what would be available in Colonial Williamsburg including Christmas pudding and hard sauce!  Cookies and cider are served.  The Victorian singers perform, and the Billerica Colonial Minute Men are there to give tours and often light a fire outside and fire a few shots of muskets.

Step back in time and enjoy the festive atmosphere and come back for summer tours.
