2025 JHS Christmas Village!
The Jaffrey Historical Society and the Jaffrey Civic Center are pleased to present a Christmas Village, created by Jaffrey resident Peter Lambert, on display at the Civic Center November 19 through December 20.
The 128 square foot village portrays the fictional town of Piscaquoddymoggin, New Hampshire, and shows coastal seaport, mountain, and rural farm scenes.
New this year is a 32 square foot scene portraying the North Pole on Christmas Eve. See Santa, his elves, and reindeer hurriedly make ready for his flight around the world!
The village will be on display during normal Civic Center hours: Wednesday thru Friday noon-5 pm, Saturday 10 am-2 pm, Sunday 2-4 pm. Special extended hours during the Jaffrey Christmas Tree Lighting December 5 and on Saturday December 13 to through 5 pm. It is free of charge.
