What's Going on in December

Christmas at Tullie at the Atlanta History Center
Modern day Christmas mainstays such as Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and stockings hung by the fire only started to become popular in America during the mid-1800s. Christmas at Tullie offers an insight into the beginnings of early American Christmas traditions. Visit 19th century Tullie Smith yeoman farm, which will be decorated in the style of the period. Costumed guides will help you make a variety of crafts including candles, sachets, and ornaments! You’ll also be able to enjoy blacksmithing, cooking demonstrations, and traditional storytelling and music. Try out some 19th-century toys, and try on some 19th-century clothes!

Admission for Homeschool Days is free for adult members; $5 for children of members; and $7 per person for non-members. Discounted tickets are available for groups with ten or more children. For more information or to make group reservations, please call 404.814.4018 or email ARombauer@AtlantaHistoryCenter.com
