Here in New York State, we’re more than used to seeing our local neighborhoods transform during the holiday season, with nearby houses turning into gingerbread house lookalikes with all of their decorations. It’s not just the sights we see on our everyday drive though that begin to change during this time of year, it’s also our historic sites within the state that also take on a whole new looking around this time of year!
