CHRISTMAS!
HERLIHY STYLE--

For over 20 years the century-old Herlihy family home on West 2nd St, in Mansfield has been the showcase of local Christmas displays. Decorating for this year’s celebration began in mid-October and features 25 Christmas trees alone including the 16 foot behemoth pictured right which sports 6,300 lights.

Another popular feature of the display is a Lionel model train layout (below) first collected by the late Paul Herlihy 50 years ago. It has to be the most publicly enjoyed model train display in Mansfield history and stimulates many memories of the author’s own Lionel trains of childhood Christmases.

Please join us Saturday for a peek at some other local model railroading.
