The sweet smell of meatballs coated with barbecue sauce greeted guests as they entered the Museum of Culpeper History Sunday evening.
Inside, Director Lee Langston-Harrison and her staff purposefully decorated the buffet tables with several bottles of wine, assorted cheeses, cookies, desserts, grapes and vegetables.
Nearly 100 guests enjoyed the museum’s Holiday Open House in honor of the 12 Days of Christmas.
Sunday was the 10th day of the museum’s celebration featuring 10 “Lords A Leaping.”
“The purpose of this event is to thank all of the members and friends of the museum for helping with such a good year,” Langston-Harrison said between carrying items from the small kitchen into the exhibit areas.
During the two-hour event, the Country Troubadours played Christmas songs as guests chatted over tasty hors d’oeuves.
Museum closed for Jan.
The Museum of Culpeper History is scheduled to reopen on Feb. 7 with the grand opening of the “War is Hell: A Salute to Culpeper Veterans” exhibit.
