Scents of fresh garlands and hot cider will fill the Greenock Log House in Log House for the Christmas Open House to be held from 4:00PM to 8:00PM on Saturday, Dec. 7 and 14 in Elizabeth Township. Candles will light the way to visit this two-story home built around 1790 on its original site at 1235 Greenock Buena Vista Road. Talk with re-enactors, enjoy music, buy baked goods while flames from the two-hearths in the turkey breast fireplaces will add to the ambiance.
Continual restoration offers changing insights to 18th century life. Upstairs two bedrooms feature rope beds where the phrase “Sleep tight” originated. Taunt new ropes supporting the tick mattress would soon loosen creating a sagging platform for those sleeping on it. A third bedroom features a classroom with desks and blackboard. Historical stocking stuffers, crafts and small gifts will be available in the mini-barn along with refreshments. The Greenock Log House is located at 1215 Greenock Buena Vista Road. For details, call 412-807-8452.
