A Christmas Celebration

Experience the holidays with the music, decor and foods of the mid-1800s in rural Missouri. Enjoy historic cooking, caroling and music throughout the village. The Victorian era gave rise to many of the Christmas traditions we think of today. Crafts, decorations, historic demonstrations, and holiday traditions are all on display at Missouri Town’s Christmas Celebration.
