The 2016 Olde Fashion Christmas is scheduled for the first weekend in December and if you have never been this should be your first year.
“Pioneer Christmas Legends” is the theme for this year’s Ferndale Heritage Society’s 24th annual Olde Fashioned Christmas event in the historic log cabins of Pioneer Park. It will be happening from December 2nd to the 4th.
Visitors are invited to step back in time as Ferndale Heritage Society’s costumed volunteers welcome them to tour the 12 historic log cabins of Pioneer Park. Cabins will also offer hands-on crafts, special treats, and music that are all included in the admission cost.
Each cabin is decorated as is fitting in their own “Christmas Legend” theme.
