Take a trip
back in time and experience old-world England as historic downtown Cambridge,
Ohio, is charmingly transformed into a Dickens Victorian Village. Visitors are
invited to stroll amidst 60 vignettes of 180 lifelike figures representing
classic scenes from Victorian society. This innovative public art exhibition can
be enjoyed by families, couples, and groups alike -- an experience that will
engage the senses as you explore the charming streetscape, striking historic
architecture, and eclectic shops and eateries of Cambridge.
The Dickens scenes are stationed along Wheeling Avenue at each antique lamppost
and bench between 6th and 11th Streets. Wheeling Avenue is also the historic
National Road/Route 40 and features an outstanding streetscape of original
buildings from the 1800s.
The Dickens Victorian Village vignettes are comprised of life-sized and
hand-made mannequins wearing real vintage clothing. The faces for each character
are individually sculpted and painted by local artists. The displays include
engaging depictions of classic Dickens-era scenes and figures such as Bob
Cratchit and Tiny Tim, the town crier, groups of carolers (that actually “sing”
classic carols!), a bucket brigade, lamplighters, school children, street
peddlers, and Father Christmas, all posed in active scenes that appear frozen in
time.

Reflections of the past are seen in all the storefront glass in a town
where everything old is new again. Welcome to Wooster, Ohio’s
wonderful Window Wonderland! The nostalgic evening transcends the
historic northeast Ohio town into Christmas scenes from yesteryear. It
all begins with the lighting of The Children’s Christmas Tree at 7:00
p.m. in Wooster’s public square along with a petting zoo and Herky the
Clown. Hot cocoa fills the brisk evening air and is free along with
coffee and cookies at several locations. Once the sky is illuminated,
Santa arrives from the rooftops and comes down a firefighters’ ladder
where he is met by elves and is escorted to a gazebo where kids gather
by to tell Santa what they want for Christmas. The air fills with the
sound of music from a children’s choir, caroling in the streets and
strolling musicians. Horse and carriage rides add to the allure of the
night warming everyone up for the featured event – unveiling Window
Wonderland.
The diverse cross section of downtown merchants provide more shopping
variety than any mall could in a much more authentic winter wonderland
where storefronts transcend into art. Until the unveiling, every
storefront along every streetscape is covered in secrecy. Bring a
camera to capture the sights as this event brings new meaning to
window-shopping.
