Glimpse the simple Christmas festivities of the early 1800s in a Federal-style Newport Mansion. Meet the two Whitehorne daughters who are preparing for a Christmas meal. Learn about the history of the holiday and why some less tolerant colonies had outlawed holiday celebrations. Visitors can sample Mrs. Whitehorne’s Shrewsbury cakes and take away a booklet of authentic colonial recipes.
*If group tours are interested, 10% off coupons to our museum store (located just across the street from Whitehorne) can be provided. It’s a perfect place to start holiday shopping!
