Come to the Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation on November 27th, 28th, and 29th to put you in the holiday spirit and usher in this festive season. Enjoy a steaming cup of wassail in the kitchen and tour the 18th century stone farmhouse decorated in its holiday finery. Learn how the farmhouse decorations represent the traditions of colonial times. The farm’s historic interpreters will tell how Christmas was celebrated through the ages. Small craft items and snacks will be available for purchase in the kitchen. Looking for that special gift? The Plantation’s gift shop features a variety of unique items including toys, candy sticks, tin ware, ceramics, hats, books, and other hard to find merchandise.
