Holidays at the Homestead December 6, 2009

What does an old-fashioned Christmas mean to you? The scents of pine boughs and hot cider? The sound of sleigh bells? The fun of exchanging gifts made in secret? Join us for our annual holiday event and relive these and other delightful experiences.
Listen to the blacksmiths as they hammer hot metal into useful nails and hooks. Watch the spinners quietly convert wool into yarn for warm hats and mittens. Tap your toe to lively Celtic and seasonal music and watch the children play with old fashioned toys, make a craft, or roll out cookies.
For a special treat, hop onto a horse-drawn wagon and experience what it was like to travel across a wintry landscape at a slower pace. Walk to our log cabin and learn how pioneers survived the winter.
Warm up in an old-fashioned kitchen and savor a cup of hot cider and a tasty cookie.
