There will be Christmas trees and wreaths for sale, gift items in the Christmas Shoppe, baked goods, chili to warm up guests, a model train layout, and an extensive collection of Nutcrackers\u2014including Frankenstein.<\/p>\n

Another fixture at the trackside hotel and rest stop that opened in 1843, and has been undergoing a restoration since being rescued from near ruin in 1971, is Jeremy Ruman, president of the Board of Directors of the nonprofit organization Merwinsville Hotel Restoration, Inc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Restoring and choreographing a vibrant role for this piece of local railroading history is one of her passions. Her \u201cday job\u201d is serving as the legal assistant to Cramer & Anderson Partner Arthur C. Weinshank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ms. Ruman handles all administrative aspects of Attorney Weinshank\u2019s tax, estate and elder law planning practice and devotes a substantial amount of time to interacting with his clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great historic building,\u201d Ms. Ruman said of the Merwinsville Hotel, whose long and fascinating story is told on the Restoration\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you enter the Hotel today, you get a sense of what it was like 170 years ago as passengers stepped off the railroad on their way from Bridgeport, Connecticut, to summer homes in Pittsfield, Massachusetts,\u201d the About section says in part.<\/a><\/p>\n

Keeping the hotel\u2019s history alive and vibrant is a family affair for Ms. Ruman, whose father, George Haase, began the restoration efforts in 1971, \u201cwhen the hotel was really ready to fall down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe really gathered the neighborhood together to save it,\u201d Ms. Ruman said of her father. Now, she leads the Restoration board, and her sister, Jennifer Haase, is Vice President of the Board for the all-volunteer effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a third floor ballroom we\u2019d love to get restored,\u201d said Ms. Ruman, noting that the building was painted this past spring, and the porches were repaired this year. \u201cSo the building\u2019s looking really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which makes it a perfect time for a visit\u2014and to partake in the seasonal charm and festivities of the holiday show, which also features Dickens Villages and Worlds Fair Amusement Park Miniatures.<\/p>\n

There is no admission fee for the holiday show, which runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, and from 10 to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n
