Gibson Pewter’s 2010 Christmas Ornament features one of Hillsborough’s most scenic and enduring landmarks, Gleason Falls Stone Arch Bridge. Built in the first half of the 19th century, this sturdy, dry masonry bridge has withstood the test of time. Its graceful single arch spans Beard Brook at Gleason Falls, a location visited by generations of local families for picnicking, fishing, wading and swimming.

Created by Jon Gibson and designed by Roger Goode of Fresh Start Creative, this ornament is the tenth and final one in the Hillsborough series. It is available for sale at Gibson Pewter and Sweet Expressions. Prior years’ ornaments are still available for sale at Gibson Pewter.
