Santa in Silvermine on Christmas Eve!
Decorating Silvermine For The Holidays!
Every year for decades a cheerful, volunteer crew of Silvermine Community Association neighbors have decorated the historic signs, bridges and other parts of Silvermine for the holidays.
The idea is to bring community spirit and a festive touch to everyone, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, Las Posadas, Chinese New Year, Festivus (for Seinfeld fans) or something else.
Beyond the holidays, the SCA undertakes various projects throughout the year to maintain the beauty and character of the area. An important part of that work includes the installation and maintenance of the historic signs around the community. Read more about that here.
Below are some photos of Silvermine this and past holiday seasons.

Silvermine is a State of Mind
Do you live in Silvermine?
The New York Times once wrote, “You can’t find two people who agree on the boundaries. Silvermine is a state of mind”. This may make for colorful discussion and local debate, but we do have a pretty good idea of the historic boundaries. Each of the gateways is decorated with an antique “This is Silvermine” sign. Below is a map showing the boundaries as well as a list of streets considered within the borders of Silvermine.
