Description
The National Park Service (NPS) invites the public to celebrate a Hopewell Christmas and stroll through the historic community of Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site. This free event features Christmas as celebrated during the 19th century at Hopewell Furnace. The program will be presented rain or shine.
Visitors will have the opportunity to experience and engage with various Christmas traditions from the early/mid 19th Century. Activities from previous years include: gingerbread ornaments, creating holiday decorations out of greens and other natural sprigs, the traditions of writing holiday letters and cards, plus discovering the customs, foods, and traditions of the holiday season from an early American perspective. Support for these programs comes from park volunteers, the Berks and Chester County Master Gardener chapters, and the Friends of Hopewell Furnace.
