Christmas is a time when a person’s thoughts turn to family gatherings, decorated trees, turkey dinners, brightly wrapped gifts and holiday traditions.

Like today, children of long ago grew more excited as the holiday season drew near – wondering what the hung stocking would hold, what new toy may be under the tree, what shape the newly cut tree would take, and what goodies the family would bake.

Through this Museum-led program, we provide an opportunity for visitors to learn about 1910 settler life and family traditions during the holiday season.

Learn about holiday traditions, see what types of gifts were given, play with wooden toys and make an old-fashioned craft. Recommended for ages five years and up; families welcome! Explore the Museum Galleries after the program.
