Join us for a theatrical, historically-based séance in the spooky, candlelit parlor of the Keith House at Graeme Park.

Christmas in the colonies was celebrated differently, and sometimes not at all, by each ethnic group who settled here, bringing traditions from their homeland. Graeme Park was home to the Scottish Keith and Graeme families, Irish and German servants, enslaved workers, and later the Quaker Penroses. As you tour the rooms of the Keith House, costumed actors will present these different traditions to you – some you will recognize in our modern day celebrations or maybe you’ll discover something new…
