Daniel Boone Homestead will present "A Homestead Holiday" on Sunday, Dec. 8, from noon to 4 p.m. Visitors will be able to learn about English and Pennsylvania German holiday celebrations, listen to the Homestead Carolers, visit with Santa and the Belsnickel and enjoy Christmas crafts and activities. Throughout the historic area, visitors will hear about the different Christmas traditions of the families who lived on the property throughout the 18th century as they tour the festively decorated buildings.

In the Boone House, volunteers will cook a Christmas meal in the hearth and talk about the English Christmas traditions. Visitors will get to enjoy the English and German parlors festively decorated for the season.

The Pennsylvania German log cabin will be open for tours, and visitors can learn about its unique architectural history. The Homestead Carolers and the Haycreek Valley Goldband will provide music throughout the day.

There will also be holiday crafts and activities for children, including a Christmas scavenger hunt through the historic area. After completing the hunt, children will be able to receive a holiday treat bag. Complimentary hot chocolate and hot wassail will also be available throughout the afternoon.

The event is being presented and funded by the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates (DBHA). There will be an admission fee, with separate prices for adults, seniors age 65 and over and youths ages 6 to 17. Children under age 6 and DBHA members will be admitted for free.
