A Historic Holiday
Saturday, November 25 2006 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The sweet, nutty scent of mulled cider. The crackle and pop of a wood fire. A goose turning on the spit. Fingers of candlelight reaching into dark corners. Babies playing on the floor. Neighborhood rowdies wassailing at the door. Come warm yourself at the hearth and start the holiday season with us, as the Rebecca Nurse Homestead celebrates, a Historic Holiday.
Experience colonial domestic life in the Nurse House. Hear the premiere performances of the Nurse Homestead Singers, under the direction of Glenn Mairo, at 1:30 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. in the Meetinghouse. Enjoy treats from The Queen of Tarts (our own Laura Abraham-Miller) after the performance. The Endecott Shop will be stocked with pottery, glass pen and ink sets, CDs of colonial music, books, teapots and tea, matted photos of the Nurse House, toys and much more. As members of the Rebecca Nurse Homestead Preservation Society, you’ll get a 20% discount in the shop. Even non-members will enjoy 10% off for this special day. We hope to see you there!
