A Taste of the Holidays
Event Description
Celebrate the season with a cozy and culture-rich holiday experience at Chiefswood National Historic Site and Ruthven Park National Historic Site.
At Chiefswood, explore the 1850s Johnson family home dressed in Victorian holiday décor. Enjoy a guided storytelling of the family history followed by an offering of mincemeat tarts, sugar cookies, and the choice of Riverside Blend coffee, Earl Grey tea, mulled cider, or hot chocolate, all served in a warm, festive setting. (Located at 1037 Highway 54, Chiefswood Road, Ohsweken, Ontario)
At Ruthven Park, step into the Thompson mansion for a guided experience adorned with period Christmas decorations and a special Victorian Parlour Exhibit. Then head to the historic Coach House for a comforting spread of freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, paired with aromatic teas, coffee, or hot chocolate.
Your ticket includes admission to both sites, guided tours, seasonal treats, and drinks. Tickets are non-refundable, and time slots are pre-assigned.
