Colonial Christmas Artisan Market at Living History Park

Colonial Christmas Artisan Market Presented by the Olde Town Preservation Association

Step back in time this holiday season at the Colonial Christmas Artisan Market, held at the Living History Park on Saturday, November 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Browse and shop the work of talented artisans whose crafts reflect the trades and traditions of colonial America from 1735 to 1785. Each vendor has been selected for their commitment to handmade craftsmanship, natural materials, and period-appropriate techniques and designs — offering a truly authentic glimpse into the handmade goods of the era.

Throughout the day, visitors are invited to enjoy live craft demonstrations, engage with knowledgeable interpreters in period attire, and experience the sights and stories of an 18th-century holiday marketplace.

Whether you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind gift or simply looking to immerse yourself in living history, the Colonial Christmas Artisan Market promises a memorable outing for all ages.

Admission is free. (remove or adjust as needed)
