The annual Pioneer Christmas happens again this year at the 91原创 Centennial Museum on Saturday, Dec. 8.
The local museum, owned by the Township, offers families a morning or afternoon session to travel back in time.
鈥淭he event has been happening each year since 2003, always with a consistent focus on the historical enjoyment of Christmas,鈥� explained Julie Epp, arts and culture programmer. 鈥淭hrough crafts and games, we are able to help the children understand a little bit more about how Christmas has evolved since pioneer times, and become the beloved holiday we enjoy today.鈥�
The event is a local tradition.
There鈥檚 a morning session from 10 a.m. to noon and an afternoon session that runs 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Kids can try out pioneer and traditional crafts that young. They can check out pioneer toys.
They can also decorate a mini gingerbread house, and mail a letter to Santa at the historic post office. The event will include a reading of 鈥楾was the Night Before Christmas, and a visit and photos with jolly old St. Nick. Each child will receive a gift, and there鈥檚 a sale at the gift shop.
Adults can also explore the museum鈥檚 galleries while the kids play.
The museum is at 9135 King St. People can register through RecExpress.ca.
