This event will showcase traditional arts, trades, and yuletide pioneer traditions.

Guests will be invited inside cabins from the 18th and 19th centuries to interact with historical interpreters and observe artists demonstrating popular yuletide traditions of Early America. See everything from candle making to wreath making and stocking sewing. Services

will be taking place throughout the event in Hart Square’s historic Chapel of Peace for those who wish to experience singing traditional Christmas hymns. You will also enjoy samples of Brunswick stew, vegetable stew, apple cider, fire-roasted chestnuts, and cookies..

Rebecca Hart, Executive Director, says, “This event began with our founders,

Dr. Bob and Mrs. Becky Hart inviting 50 of their closest friends to worship in the historic chapel and has grown into a living history event with pioneer Christmas traditions, music, and dancing. Christmas in the Village is a great way to share the yuletide traditions of our early American ancestors with guests from all over the southeast.”
