For the 2011 winter holiday season each room of Osborne Homestead Museum will feature âHoliday At The Cinema,â floral interpretations of scenes from these movies. The historic museum provides a lovely setting for enjoying a trip down memory lane.
The museum was the home of Frances Osborne Kellogg, who lived in the house her entire life, from 1876 to 1956. The public is invited to explore movie classics as Mrs Kellogg might have enjoyed them.
 As they have done for more than twenty years, volunteers create the beautiful holiday decorations. Members of Ansonia Garden Club, Olde Ripton Garden Club, The Garden Club of Orange, Naugatuck Garden Club, Roxbury-Bridgewater Garden Club, Derby Garden Society, Pomperaug Valley Garden Club of Woodbury, Oxford Garden Club and Ye Olde Kellogg Garden Society have all participated in this yearâs collaborative effort.
 âHoliday At The Cinemaâ will be open from November 25 through December 18, Thursday through Sunday from 10 am until 4 pm. Museum docents provide special holiday guided tours.
On Friday evenings, December 2, 9, and 16, the museum will host âtwilight tours,â highlighting the special glow of the decorations from 4 to 6:30 pm. Group tours for adults and youth programs are also available; call 203-734-2513 to schedule a group of eight visitors or more.
The Osborne Homestead Museum exhibits the fine art and antiques of Frances Osborne Kellogg. There is no admission fee; donations are gratefully accepted. The museum is at 500 Hawthorne Avenue, off Route 34 in Derby.
