See some of the latest tools and gadgets to make your gardening more efficient. Gardening is a great activity for maintaining joint flexibility, range of motion and quality of life. A few simple modifications can help you keep your garden growing with ease.

We're celebrating Christmas a little earlier this year at Indian Steps Museum. We wanted to give our guests plenty of time this year to prepare for their Christmas holiday. So, as tradition dictates, visitors can purchase ornaments from 10 specially decorated Christmas trees, along with a wide variety of cookies, pies, hot beverages and chestnuts roasting in an open fireplace. This is the perfect place and time to initiate that warm, traditional holiday spirit.

Santa Claus and helpers, along with Rudolph the “Two-nosed” Reindeer, will be available to greet youngsters of all ages at Indian Steps from 2 – 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday of both week-ends.

As usual, there's no admission charge, but donations will be deeply appreciated.
