Our popular holiday Lantern Tours will look a little different this year! Visitors will walk by lantern light to visit our 17th century English farmhouse, 18th century Irish and German farmhouses, and one of our 19th century Virginia farmhouses, all cozily decorated for the holidays. Inside, costumed interpreters will transport the visitor by firelight to their respective holiday traditions. Instead of skits this year, our interpretive program will allow the visitor to experience holidays in history. Audience participation may be required! If you’ve ever been on a field trip to the museum during the holiday season, come revisit that memory lit by lantern light for our Holidays by Lantern Light evening interpretive program !
