Ogdensburg Holiday Tour On Dec. 16th

The Ogdensburg History Museum’s Holiday Tour will feature the historic, award winning Sherman Inn and Tom and Brittanie Kelso’s home on Saturday, Dec 16 from 11-2 p.m.

Tickets are available at the Ogdensburg Chamber of Commerce at 318 Ford Street and the Ogdensburg History Museum at 206 Ford Street, the Blevins building, just down the hall from the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Tickets are $5 donation for museum members and $10 donations for non members.

All proceeds will benefit the Ogdensburg History Museum.

The self-guided tour will allow ticket holders to go inside:

• The Sherman Inn at 615 Franklin Street which will feature a variety of gaily decorated Christmas trees in each of the rooms. Ogdensburg author James E. Reagan will be available to sign copies of his books “Booze, Badboys & Bootleggers,” “Warriors of La Presentation,” and “Fort Oswegatchie.”
• Tom and Brittanie Kelso’s home at 423 Washington Street. The Kelso’s home is a former winner of the Ogdensburg Pride and Beautification Commission’s Holiday Decorating Contest.
• The Frederic Remington Art Museum (lobby only)
• The First Presbyterian Church (refreshments will be available)

“We’ve had a lot of people ask about visiting the Sherman Inn, especially during the holidays to see my wife, Donna’s stunning Christmas trees,” said Reagen. “This holiday tour will help a worthy cause - the Ogdensburg History Museum and provide people with a great opportunity to get out during the holiday season and get last minute items at the Remington Museum’s gift shop and the Ogdensburg History Museum. We are also very grateful to the Kelsos for opening their beautiful home to visitors.”

A drawing will be held for ticket holders with a variety of prizes, including t-shirts, museum memberships and gift certificates.

Tickets are available at the Ogdensburg History museum on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11am-1pm.
