This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
It's Christmas Eve, 1864 and a small garrison of soldiers still remain to guard the remaining operations of the Johnsonville Supply Depot. Join us to wish them a Merry Christmas with the coming year and hope that the war will soon end.
Travel back in time to call on the soldiers as they prepare for the Christmas holiday. Help to decorate a Christmas tree, enjoy holiday treats of the time period, and sing traditional carols. Perhaps even Santa Claus himself will make it through the picket lines for a visit. Bring your family and help us celebrate this special evening around a blazing fire.. Come all ye for fun and merriment!
