Seasonal Warmth at the Historic North Star House

This year’s Christmas decorations were created by Rebekah Freeman, whose thoughtful eye brought a gentle and timeless warmth to the North Star House.

Rebekah has a gift for understanding what the House needs. Every detail was placed with intention, choosing holiday elements that honor its architecture and allow the beauty of each room to shine. The décor feels subtle and welcoming, full of the quiet nostalgia the holidays naturally carry.

As you walk through, you may find yourself imagining how the Foote family might have experienced the holiday season here. The traditional greenery and soft seasonal accents feel like the kind of décor they may have used to bring brightness into the winter months.

Visitors will experience a warm, festive atmosphere that feels both historic and personal. Rebekah’s work reminds us that small details can transform a space, and that care and thoughtfulness create the strongest sense of home.

You can enjoy the House dressed for the season during our docent-led tour next Thursday, December 11th from 1–3pm, or join us for Christmas at the Historic North Star House on December 13th. Tickets are available while supplies last at www.NorthStarHouse.org/calendar
