The Christmas Barn has closed for the season!

It's hard to beleive another Christmas has come and gone...we want to thank all our friends old and new for visiting the Barn.  We do hope you enjoyed your visit and will return again in 2010!

Perhaps, that should be our theme...come again in 2010 !!!!

We have already made plans for our buying trips and I've created my first TO DO list for Joe...I have also made a list of items you have requested throughout the year and hope I can find them in our travels!

I also hope to work on my web page skills but remember it's me !!!

The Christmas Barn is now closed and we'll be moving a few things around. You'll have to come see what we get done..stay tuned for news and do plan a trip to see what we've done this summer.

People often ask "When is the best time to visit the Barn?" we usually reply that mid-September thru October would be the best but "SHOP HOP" ..our "Peppermint Party" and Hot Potato Sunday are special days.  We also admit that once Halloween is past and Christmas fills the Barn shopping takes on a whole new meaning.

I guess the answer is to come anytime you are always welcome to come and browse and see what's new!  We do get things in almost daily.

The Woodstock Merchants will be making plans. We think 2010 will be another fun year at Woodstock's shops.

Brenda took some photos and Mark put them on.  I think it's fun to see actual shots of the shop!  Thanks to both.  By the way, these are Hannah's folks...I hope I can learn how so the photos can be updated!

Thank you all so much for stopping and shopping and all the laughs !

Now a little story about The Christmas Barn

Established in 1965 The Christmas Barn is located in Woodstock, CT a charming town in the northeast corner of Connecticut.  This area is often referred to as Ct.'s Quiet Corner.  The Barn is 14 miles southeast of Old Sturbridge Village and a short ride from most N.E. cities.

The Barn is housed in a true old barn with hand-hewn pegged beams and the history of 9 generations of family living in the homestead.

Our most often heard comments from newcomers is that we're bigger than we look and have lots of fun "stuff".  We invite you to come see for yourselves.

We invite you to our website but realize it's not really a well done site, we do hope you'll learn that The Barn is worth the trip, we're a barn full of wonderful stuff, friendly folk and great displays ... do stop by.

Watch our event list for the latest news!
