OSBORNEDALE HOMESTEAD MUSEUM, Derby, CT

For several weeks each winter, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s Osborne Homestead Museum is transformed into a holiday showcase.  Talented and dedicated garden clubs beautifully decorate all the rooms in this historic homestead.  This year’s theme is Nature’s Friends and the Olde Ripton Garden Club Committee, chaired by Joyce Donnelly, decorated the children’s bedroom and bathroom with lemurs.
