Old Mill Town holiday planned

The Kitsap Historical Society and Museum is again presenting Old Mill Town Christmas on Sunday, Dec. 14, beginning at 4 p.m.

Set aside the hustle-bustle of the holiday season for just one night. Turn off the computers, the televisions, the iPhones and iPads.

Put on your Sunday best and venture out to an Old Mill Town in Seabeck to celebrate the holidays the way they would have been in the mid 1860s.

The Kitsap Historical Society and Museum is again presenting Old Mill Town Christmas on Sunday, Dec. 14, beginning at 4 p.m.

The location is at the Seabeck Conference Center, in Seabeck, where, in  the mid 1800s, everything was all about logging.

Enjoy the fun, beginning with a hay ride. Stop to sample roasted chestnuts and mosey on to the Meeting House to dance the Old Virginia Reel with the Kitsap Kickers.

Following that, a typical pioneer style Christmas dinner will be served in the century-old historic dining hall. The family-style dinner will include herb-rubbed pork tenderloin, clam chowder and root vegetables.

Learn what life was like back then through the stories of characters “Marshall Blynn, Fred, the lumberman and Jim, the forester.”

Enter to win a gift basket filled with delightful goodies you can use for a holiday treat.

The evening ends with caroling along with members of the Bremerton Symphony Chorale.

Reservations are required and can be made by calling 360-479-6226. Cost is $30 for adults, $15 for children ages 4 to 12 years, and children under 3 are free.
