Celebrate the holiday season in the same style that Texas families did 150 years ago. Visitors can enjoy a tour of the historic Minor-Porter Log House (built in the 1860s), make a corn husk doll or ornament, learn how to churn butter, create a hand-dipped candle and enjoy traditional holiday music. A cup of hot cider and some Dutch oven gingerbread help fill out the celebration. Visitors are welcome to participate in the come-and-go event at their own pace. Knowledgeable volunteers will help guide visitors through the historic structures and grounds.
