What did the colonists celebrate before Thanksgiving and Christmas? Come to the Faulkner House at 5 High Street and discover the clandestine way the American colonists celebrated the Yuletide season. Christmas celebrations were disguised as other celebrations, and the colonists disguised themselves, as well. We will gather by the bonfire for song, revelry and a raucous mummers’ play just as the early Americans did. Learn how celebrating Christmas could land you a fine, a day in the stocks or even jail! This is a great way to start the holiday season and to begin the revelry--at the oldest house in Acton. Parking on site or nearby.  Check www.ironworkfarm.org for details.
