Description
The annual Colonial Christmas Open House will take place on Saturday and Sunday, December 3 and 4, 2011 from 1 to 4 pm. Admission will be free, and donations will be gratefully accepted. The buildings will be decorated with traditional greenery and will reflect the very different way in which colonists and early Americans celebrated the Christmas holiday. Information about the house and grounds will be offered by costumed docents; re-enactors will demonstrate scenes of 18th-century life; the sounds of live music will fill the air; and other interpreters will entertain children using colonial games, crafts, and other activities through the “Hands-on History” program.
The gift shop will be open with a great choice of inexpensive gifts, many under $10, for both young and not so young, and the annual bake sale will feature delicious local specialties and traditional delights.
