A Very Mabee Christmas

Gelukkig Kerstfeest!! This program welcomes families to share in colonial holiday traditions, including those celebrated by the Dutch-American Mabee family. We'll learn how revelers of yore celebrated the season, enjoy colonial-era treats and stories by the Inn's fire, and make a craft to take home. Plus, we'll have a very special scavenger hunt -- kids can use riddles and clues to find holiday friends nestled around the historic site. This program is $10/person or $5/person for SCHS members.  

$5.00 – $10.00
