Several boxes of German glass ornaments purchased at
Strickfaden’s are now in the historical collections of the Follett House
Museum. The three ornaments pictured above were dated from 1948. An advertisement for Strickfaden’s appeared in the WLEC Special Historical Edition Cookbook which was published in
1978.
The advertisement provided historical information
about the popular garden center, which is no longer in operation.

I remember Strickfaden's fondly. I was too old for Santa then, but enjoyed watching my younder siblings listen to the mechanical Santa "talk" to them. Does anyone know what happened to him after Strickfaden's closed? I loved going there at Christmas, the first room was full of fresh wreaths and other pine tree cuttings and smelled heavenly. The ornament room was beautiful (my grandma worked there) and for years we shopped there for all manner of things. Really miss the old fashioned gift shops, you could find things there no one else had, not cookie cutter. they are pretty rare these days.
