Join us in transforming the museum at the historic Rengstorff House into a festive vintage holiday home! Both the interiors and the grounds of the house will be decorated this year, but we're especially in need of volunteers to decorate the restored period parlors.
Friends of "R" House will supply all the decorating materials and participants will contribute their creative touch.
Light refreshments and an optional tour of the historic house will be hosted after project completion.
High school students are welcome to sign up to receive community service credit for their participation.
The holidays are a special time at Rengstorff House and Shoreline! The museum hosts free admissions and tours several days a week, plus this year the Quaint Victorian Holiday and Season's Portraits event on Dec. 7th. Thank you for taking part in our decorating tradition, helping the house be a focal point at Shoreline, and delighting the public this season!

Mission Statement
The mission of the Friends of "R" House is to contribute to the preservation and public knowledge of the Rengstorff House, the Rengstorff Family, and the history of Mountain View through various activities and events, including community outreach, educational events, and research.
Description
While the Rengstorff House is a wonderful example of architecture in its own right, it is also a prime model of adaptive reuse. Today this beautifully restored historic house museum provides the perfect setting for visitors to acquaint themselves with the attributes of the 19 th century. The Friends of "R" House invite you come to the Rengstorff House and experience one of a kind exhibits, living history programs, memorable holiday events, and much more.
Find us on Facebook and check our calendar often so you are assured not to miss a thing. Complimentary docent tours are held throughout the year on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays and are given by Mountain View Parks and Recreation docent volunteers. Tour times are subject to change without notice. Donations are always welcome and proceeds go to the Friends of "R" House to further our educational mission. The Rengstorff House is located inside picturesque Shoreline at Mountain View.
