It was to large for my display and was subsequently returned with no problem whatsoever

My sister-in-law was esctatic. Her skating pond of many years (which she loved) finally stopped working and was glad that the new version looked so much like the old version.

The "Pembroke Textile Mill" represents the area where many textile mills first came to be in New Hampshire. It even has the water wheel which came about in the 19th century making it an incredibly authentic New England piece. To make this piece even more exciting, when plugged in, the water wheel turns and the building lights up as if everyone is at work making the latest fashions!
The idea for Providence Church came from none other than Providence, Rhode Island. The church was founded in the 17th century by a man exiled from Massachusetts and was named in honor of "God's Merciful Providence." The matching nativity piece makes the church even more beautiful
The second building added to New England for 2010 is also highly detailed. Light spills out from the large double sliding door. The large overhang on the left side protects hay and other feed from the elements. Sculpted tack, reigns, and blankets also available at what is a fine place to keep horses. Name inspired by town South Deerfield, MA. Coordinating Accessory: "A Christmas Pony".
This building design was inspired by the train station in Tilton, NH, which today is still downtown on Main Street. Tilton, NH was settled in 1762 as Sanbornton Bridge. Its name was changed to Tilton in 1869. Close examination find many details on this building - the spout on the water tower for filling the steam engines, sacks of mail awaiting transport to towns further down the line, luggage on the platform, and a clock set to 5 to 6' - a Department 56 icon. Coordinating Accessory: "Waiting for the Train".
