Becker Family Christmas
Advertisement
It’s December 1891, and Norman and Catharine Becker and their children invite people from the community to a housewarming party to celebrate their first Christmas in their new home. The Beckers moved from Waterloo this past spring into the three-story, Queen Anne-style mansion renovated under the care of Mrs. Ellen Patridge on the estate formerly owned by the Edward Mynderse family. Now, the Becker family wants people to visit them and their home.
The Becker Mansion (now occupied by the Seneca Falls Historical Society) is located at 55 Cayuga St. in Seneca Falls and will host a Christmas reception on Friday, December 11 from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission costs $20 per person, and guests will enjoy a variety of refreshments on the first floor of the mansion. Guests may also visit the second and third floors of the mansion, where docents can guide them and answer any questions guests have about the home.
Guests should enter the front door of the mansion, using either the front walkway from Cayuga Street or the side walkway from the driveway. Norman and Catharine will greet their guests at the front door. Guests should pay their admission in the gift shop toward the back of the home. Guests will also find the six Becker children – Eliza, 18, Katharine, 16, Anna, 14, Florence, 12, Norman, 8, and Cora 6 – roaming around their home and the Becker family’s servants offering refreshments. Feel free to talk with the Beckers, their children, and their servants and enjoy the home.
