The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danc'd in their heads…A Visit From St Nicholas~ 1823 ~Clement Mark Moore
Visions of sugar plums will pale in comparison to the culinary delights awaiting attendees at the annual Backus-Page House Holiday Dinner.
Join us for a trip into the gastronomic history of the Talbot Settlement!
The year is 1855 and the event is Christmas dinner at one of the most auspicious homes in the area. Let Andrew and Mary Jane Backus welcome you to their lovely home, decorated for the season with the fireplaces aglow. Enjoy a multi-course meal by the warmth of fire and candle light. Each course is created from authentic recipes replicated from period cookbooks that could have been used in the Backus household.
