Come to Life at Historic Holidays at Hallockville

Hallockville Museum Farm, an authentic, preserved 28-acre North Fork farm homestead, will showcase old-fashioned holiday traditions during the Historic Holidays at Hallockville open house on Sunday, December 8 from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. 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. 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 Country Parlor Holiday Folk Art and Gift Show featuring exclusively handcrafted items. The Trubisz House will feature a charming dollhouse exhibit.

Outside, there will be a demonstration and sampling of traditional bread-making, using a wood-fired outdoor hearth,
strolling carolers, children’s activities and refreshments.
