The Victorian Society at Falls Church opened Cherry Hill Farmhouse to the public Dec. 11 to celebrate Christmas in the 1890s. Docents re-enacted the life of the Joseph Riley family, who lived in the house from 1873 until the time it was donated to the city. They decorated the Christmas tree, prepared for Christmas dinner, and read holiday stories, as seen above. (Photo: Gary Mester)
