'Holidays at the Betts House' runs through January 6

Holiday festivities at Ohio's oldest brick house began last weekend, but there are plenty more opportunities to see it.

"Holidays at the Betts House", at 416 Clark Street in the West End, displays how five generations of the Betts family may have celebrated Christmas between the years 1804 and 1879.

In addition to building tours, the event also features refreshments and family-friendly craft activities.

The fun continues through January 6. The Betts House Research Center is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on December 5, December 19, and December 20.

Admission is $2.
