The museum’s front porch has been set up as a quaint Colonial winter’s scene advertising T. Keeler’s Inn.

There’s a sign listing lodging and fine fares, a painted teapot featuring a picture of the establishment, and a small table set with pewterware, among other fun details.

The wreath on the 300-year-old front door is adorned with a pineapple, the symbol of hospitality in Colonial days.

The creative team behind the display is museum board member and volunteer Connie Fenton and her daughter, Carrie Warner.

Last year, the mother-daughter team took first place in the Ridgefield Garden Club’s holiday door decorating contest.

The museum is at 132 Main St. It is open for guided tours from 1-4 p.m. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Folks are welcome to take pictures in front of the museum, but are asked to not disturb the decorations.
