The second floor of the Thomas House will be opened, allowing visitors a rare glimpse of rooms and exhibits detailing the evolution of the home from the late 1700s to the present day. For the first time, 19th Century holiday songs and carols will be performed by the Gilmore's Light Ensemble.The Gilmore's Light Ensemble plays and sing traditional 19th Century holiday music using hammered dulcimer, guitar, banjo, mandolin and accordion wearing clothing of the mid-1800s.
