All ages enjoyed an ornament-making project, tours of the festively decorated house, educational displays, music and refreshments at the annual Holiday Open House Sunday, Dec. 2, at the  Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center. Pre-1950s toys and dolls of all types also were featured at the annual Holiday Open House.
