Guides dressed in period clothing lead you by candlelight throughout the farm. Your first stop will be at a rustic cabin where preparations for an 1890’s Christmas season will greet you. Delight in the sight of the Christmas Putz, a Moravian tradition of placing the crèche and a miniature village complete with houses, stores, people, animals, and scenery under a decorated tree. At the barnyard a living Nativity scene, complete with the animals, will inspire families and bring the true meaning of the season to life. In the Granddaddy Cabin the another story will warm hearts and, as the tour continues in the reconstructed 1893 one room schoolhouse, visitors can join in with the Carolers singing Christmas songs. In the1780’s cellar kitchen folks will find out who was ‘naughty or nice’ when the Belschnikel, a traditional Pennsylvania German figure, pays a visit! Your visit of Christmas Past will end in our Engel Education Center with complimentary refreshments. And don’t forget to browse in our Gift Shop filled with beautiful, hand crafted items.

Experience an old-fashioned Christmas, from a time before the advent of bright lights and toy commercials, where the light of twinkling of stars and lanterns guide you, the noises you hear are the soft mooing of the cow and the sweet voices of carolers, when the best Christmas gift of all was from the heart and not the store. Come join us at Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm as we celebrate the holiday season with a candlelit Christmas.
