Christmas in the Colonies

The Tapestry Historic Dance Ensemble will entertain you with with dance and music in the parlor, you’ll see what’s cooking in the kitchen and hear from the servants how they would have celebrated the holidays.

It is also Small Business Saturday. Shop Local. Support History & Heritage. There will be several craft vendors and our Museum Shop is stocked with books, puzzles, small old fashioned toys, and stocking stuffers. Get a bit of holiday shopping done, and find a unique item or two.
