Watch historic characters bring the house to life as they talk of current events and their preparations for the upcoming holiday. Sing along to holiday music being played in the parlor. As a take home items, kids can have fun making snowflakes and Christmas tree ornaments using glitter, paint, and white sand. Enjoy popcorn and hot cocoa as you join the fun.
Kid’s fun continues as Santa’s helper reads “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Storytelling is at 12:45 p.m., 1:15 p.m., 2:15 p.m., and 3:15 p.m. with candy canes being handed out to the children.
The Spring Hill Ranch buildings and Lower Fox Creek school will be decorated for the holidays from November 22nd through December 31st. At the one-room school, local Chase County Elementary students created artwork of snowflakes, paper chains, stars, pictures, and letters to Santa using historically appropriate materials. The student’s handiwork will be hanging from the Christmas tree and all around the school room representing the 1880s classroom. Come join along with the historic characters celebrating the season.
