Stonington 'Deck The Walls' Event Returns

Information via Stonington Historical Society

STONINGTON, CT — Our annual Deck the Walls event, a seasonal favorite for Stonington, is back again this year!

For more than a dozen years now, the Stonington Historical Society has gathered one-of-a-kind, handmade wreaths and holiday décor and invited community members to bid on their favorites. Each item is generously donated by local florists, interior designers, students, businesses, non-profits, and others looking to showcase their creativity.

This year, the Historical Society will host the auction virtually at deckthewalls.givesmart.com, where bidders can register for free to place their bids. The site is designed for use on a smartphone, alerting participants if they’ve won – or been outbid.

The auction will open on Thursday, Dec. 2, and continues through Friday, Dec. 4.

Want a first pass at the wreaths? Join us on Dec 2 between 4 – 8pm at our Preview Party! Enjoy buy-it-now pricing and festive drinks and bites. Tickets are going fast and are available on stoningtonhistory.org.

Be sure to stop by the Capt. Palmer House on December 3rd and 4th from 10am – 4pm for our Open House! See the Palmer House decorated for the holidays, bid on wreaths, and enjoy free tours of the Palmer House. Kids’ activities will be available in the afternoon on December 4th.

Deck the Walls is held in collaboration with the Stonington Garden Club. All proceeds from the event support the care and maintenance of the Historical Society’s grounds and gardens.

Founded in 1895, the Stonington Historical Society preserves, interprets and celebrates the history of all of Stonington, Conn. The Historical Society owns and operates the Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer House, the Lighthouse Museum and the Woolworth Research Library, as well as maintaining its collection of objects and documents, and offering educational programming throughout the year.
