Join us for an old-fashioned holiday traditions during the Historic Holidays at Hallockville open house on Sunday, December 7, from 12:00 – 3:00 p.m., as we thank the community for all your support throughout the year.
Costumed docents will lead tours of the historic Hallock Homestead which will be decorated for a Victorian Christmas, and explain why Christmas celebrations were banned by early East End settlers and eventually came to the North Fork primarily as a secular celebration. Ella’s famous molasses cookies will be backing in the woodfire stove!
In the Cichanowicz Farmhouse docents will recreate a Polish Christmas Eve celebration from the 1930s. The Hudson-Sydlowski House will welcome visitors for holiday shopping at the Museum Store featuring exclusively handcrafted items. Then step over to the Farming Family exhibit (based on Richard Wines’s book, A Farm Family on Long Island North Fork) and create family friendly art projects.
The Trubisz House will feature a charming toy exhibit. Outside, there will be strolling carolers, children’s activities, a puppet workshop by Goat on the Boat, Photo opportunities and refreshments.
Admission to Holidays at Hallockville is free
Sponsored in-part by Suffolk County.
