Carriage Hill Historic Farm welcomes the community to an event celebrating a Victorian Christmas and its many traditions.
Christmas is a time for family traditions and creating lasting memories. Join us on Saturday, December 13, for a special seasonal event at Carriage Hill. This gathering features both daytime and nighttime activities, allowing visitors to create holiday decorations, sample festive foods, watch demonstrations by our Historic Blacksmiths and Woodworkers, and enjoy various aspects of holiday celebrations in the 1880s.
In the evening, experience a candlelit Christmas as the park comes to life with luminaries, a firepit, refreshments, and engaging holiday activities. Visitors will have the opportunity to stroll through the farm and glimpse what holiday evenings were like in the 1880s.
Volunteers play a vital role in making this seasonal event enjoyable and engaging. We invite you to welcome guests to a holiday experience they will remember!
