The Courthouse Tavern Museum Celebrates Christmas

On Sunday December 1, 2013 the Courthouse Tavern Museum celebrated the Christmas season with its annual open house. Attendees visited with each other while munching on donuts cooked over an open fire and sipping warm apple cider or hot chocolate. The Christian Heirs Quartet set a festive mood with traditional Christmas carols. Children visited with Santa in his sleigh and rode in a cart pulled by a miniature horse. A special visitor, “Robert E. Lee”, greeted guests. One visitor had an opportunity to acquaint his granddaughter with her roots in King and Queen County. It was a wonderful start to the holiday season!
