Of Christmas Past is a look at the holiday in an earlier time at Charlton Park

Visitors to Charlton Park from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 10 and Sunday, Dec. 11, will take a step back in time to experience the holiday season as it was celebrated in the late 1800s.

The Historic Village is decorated with the same materials the pioneers already had and visitors can try their hand at making traditional drafts, including hand dipping their own candles.

Live music in the church, samples of wassail, chestnuts roasted over an open fire and visits with St. Nick are some of the sights, sounds and tastes of the time spent seeing Christmas as it was.

Cost is $6 for adults, $4 for children four to 12. For details, call 269-945-3775.
