COLTS NECK – The Colts Neck Historical Preservation Committee will hold a Country Christmas event at the historic one-room Montrose School from 1-4 p.m. Dec. 10.
The school is at the corner of Montrose Road and Cedar Drive near Holland Lane.
The event is free to patrons and seasonal refreshments will be provided. Free photos with Santa Claus will be available. The Christmas tree will be decorated with decorations appropriate to the period.
In addition to maps depicting Colts Neck historic sites (suitable for framing, $15 each), the committee will be selling its line of commemorative glassware featuring Montrose School and Bucks Mill, created exclusively for the Colts Neck Historical Preservation Committee by Folio Art Glass.
“Our Christmas open house last year was so popular, many have asked us to repeat it,” Historical Preservation Committee Chairwoman Lillian Burry said. “Everyone on the committee enjoys preparing and opening the Montrose School for special events that highlight our township’s unique role in 19th century America. We invite everyone to share in the warmth and historic significance of the Montrose School during this community celebration.”
The Historical Preservation Committee raises funds to continue to upgrade and maintain the Montrose School.
