St. Nicholas Visits Backus-Page House Museum

On Saturday, December 10th we were blessed to have St. Nicholas visit the museum.  He told stories and sang Jingle Bells accompanied by Bard Judith on the keyboard.  Hot apple cider, hot chocolate and Christmas cookies were served by museum volunteers.  The house was decorated and toys were left out to play with, while beef stew and bread were cooking on the woodstove.  Here's some pictures and video from the event.  Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!
