Come experience the warmth and magic of an early 19th Century Christmas at Locust Grove. At Christmastide visitors will celebrate Christmas with a cast of costumed interpreters portraying members of the Croghan and Clark families, their close friends, and relatives. Costumed guides will lead visitors along the candlelit path to the home and back in time to the year 1816 - James Madison is president, Indiana has just become a state, and unseasonably cool weather has made it "the year without a summer."

This event will also feature hands on activities for children and adults in the Locust Grove Visitors' Center. Volunteers will teach guests pastimes including card games and authentic early 19th century dances.
