Historic Craven Hall Offers a Look at Holidays Past

The Craven Hall Historical Society will hold a special Holiday Open House on Sunday, December 11th from 12 noon until 4:00PM.

            The Open House will feature open hearth cooking demonstrations as well as story-time and special activities for children.  Rumor has it that Santa and Mrs. Claus will be making a special appearance around 2:00 p.m!

Interpreters in period costumes will conduct tours of the historic building, which will be decorated in full holiday splendor.   Guests will receive complimentary hot mulled cider from an early colonial recipe. Brunswick stew and other refreshments will be available for purchase.  Admission to the Open House is complimentary.  However, donations are always graciously accepted.      

            Historic Craven Hall is called the best example of Greek revival architecture in mid-Bucks County.  The Craven Hall Historical Society owns this beautiful home, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.  Originally constructed around 1726, a front section was added by the Vansants during the 1840’s.  The Vansants and their Craven relatives were both prominent local families.  Craven Hall is located at the corner of Street and Newtown Roads in Warminster, PA.  It is also the home of the John Fitch Steamboat Museum, which is open to the public the second Sunday of the month (as is Craven Hall).
