The Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia in partnership with Chesterfield Parks and Recreation Department presents “Yuletide of the Twenties” Holiday Tours to be held Saturday, Dec. 5 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. This event is meant to provide activities at no charge for the public. We invite you to come and enjoy while learning about Chesterfield County’s unique historical sites.
Enjoy the holiday season as it might have been observed at Magnolia Grange by experiencing holiday traditions in the 1920s. Learn about ornaments that would have been common during the period, holiday songs popular during the 1920s, culinary dishes that would have been served and what gifts the families may have exchanged. Gaze at decorations that could have “decked the halls” of the Cogbill residence in this journey during the early 20th century.
Visitors will be greeted by Santa’s elves as they enter this elegantly decorated home. Holiday tours will be available for free all day. There will be seasonal music, refreshments, and vendors. Children can create a Christmas craft, play games from the past, and admire Santa from afar. Children can write a letter to Santa, and each child will receive a personalized response letter back from the North Pole. Masks are required, and Chesterfield County and CDC social distancing guidelines will be observed.
For more information, call (804) 796-7156.
