If you’re looking for a special backdrop for your family’s Holiday photo shoot this year, check out the whimsically decorated front door of Keeler Tavern Museum. The entire front porch of the Museum has been carefully set up as a quaint Colonial winter’s scene advertising T. Keeler’s Inn for the Holidays. There’s a sign listing lodging and fine fares, a painted teapot featuring a picture of the establishment, and a small table set with pewter ware, among other fun details. The wreath on the 300-year-old front door boasts a pineapple as a center piece, the symbol of hospitality in Colonial days.
The creative team behind this effort is KTM board member and volunteer, Connie Fenton, and her talented daughter, Carrie Warner. Last year, the mother-daughter team won first prize in the Holiday Door Decorating contest by the Ridgefield Garden Club. Let’s hope this year’s vignette is just as successful in garnering first prize for Keeler Tavern Museum. No prior appointments are needed for the photo shoot; however, visitors are asked to please not disturb the decorations.
