Yule food preparation by candlelight

Dec. 5-7, 12-14 & 19-21

For guests with Yuletide in the Country reservations for Sun., Dec. 21

Tours scheduled between 2:30 and 5:15 p.m. will go on as scheduled.

But due to increasing poor visibility, those tours from 5:30-8:45 p.m. will be cancelled. All buffet reservations will be honored through 7:30 p.m. . Guests will be contacted within the next two weeks to discus options for compensation.

Crisp air, candlelight and carolers await your arrival for this year’s celebration of Yuletide in the Country. Join us as we journey back through Christmas time along snow-covered streets and into several homes, shops and gathering places in the historic village.

Houses will be decorated with festive greenery, while the smell of wood smoke from holiday meals cooking on kitchen hearths fills the air.

As you tour about the village you’ll encounter intimate scenes peopled with characters from the past as they go about celebrating the season. Sing along to festive holiday songs; listen to lively music; sip warm spiced cider; and maybe even get a chance to dance, all the while discovering a little about the roots of many of our favorite Christmas customs.
