Description

How did residents of Newton celebrate the winter holidays in previous centuries? Our short videos explain family traditions at the Jackson Homestead and the Durant-Kenrick House in the 18th through 20th centuries, including baking gingerbread, donating clothing and toys to Newtonians in need -- and avoiding festivities altogether. Gain a perspective on the holidays and receive a recipe to try in this program that takes place Tuesday, December 7 at 5:00 p.m. on Zoom.

Jackson House is listed as a site in the Network to Freedom Program.
