Plantation Christmas
And Open House
At Liberty Hall ,
Decorating for Christinas in the
1850s was a family affair that
sometimes involved the neighbors as
the holiday season was a time for
visiting and for feasting. The same is
true as preparations are made for
Liberty Hall Restoration to be open
to the public on Sunday, Dec. 23
from 1 - 5 p.m. The elegant home of
the Kenan family will again welcome
guests to enjoy the beauty of its
interiors filled with the natural
decorations of the mid-19th century.
Rich Boyd, special consultant to
the restoration, says it takes nearly
160 man-hours to create a Christmas
that was like the Kenan family and
their guests enjoyed. It also involves
the community totally to make the
open house festivities one of the
highlights of the holiday season.
Dot Rollins has been working on
administrative details for the open
house and will assist in decorating
Liberty Hall. Ms. Rollins, along with
Patti Loftin. serves as curator. Dolly
Cooper, assistant curator, provides
invaluable service and dedication,
not only at Christmas, but through
out the year.
The Kenansville Beautification
Committee will provide refresh
ments and students in the Duplin
Folk Arts Study group, under the
direction of Ms. Shirley Gaskin, will
serve as hosts for the occasion.
Prior to the day 'jf open house,
individuals, like L.S. Guy, superin
tendent of Duplin County schools;
Raywood Kennedy, Norwood West,
Anne Craf', A1 Smith, Maggie
I
Murphy and Alice Rich have gen
erously contributed their time and
talents.
Liberty Hall Restoration belongs
to the citizens of Duplin County and
they are proud to share its beauty,
jifst as the Kenan family was happy
tb share their lovely home. This is
what "A Plantation Christmas" is all
about. %
