The time honored tradition of a REAL Christmas Tree is alive and well at Stokoe Farms this season. U-Cut and Pre-Cut Christmas Trees, fresh made Wreaths, Arrangements and more! Live Nativity, Country Gift Shop and Old Barn Grill. Reservations requested.

This holiday season, we need your help to ensure every child has a magical holiday season! We’ll be collecting toys for Toys for Tots from November 20th through December 5th. And as a special treat to you, when you donate a new, unwrapped toy valued at $10 or more, you’ll receive a free admission to the museum for a future visit!

Celebrate the season with a magical medley of GCV&M holiday happenings on a self-guided excursion through the museum’s wide-open spaces! Stroll the Historic Village bedecked in its holiday finery amid villagers bustling with preparations, and offering greetings to their neighbors and friends. Visit nine historic homes open for small group visits to explore the evolution of seasonal customs, and how those customs influence our communities today. Pickup ideas for your holiday table as you savor the intoxicating scents of holiday dishes. Delight in high Victorian decorating, hear about Hannukah and the lighting of the menorah, investigate the growing popularity of gift-giving, experience the anticipation of a holiday wedding, and more. Stop by Town Hall or Brooks Grove Church for an array of timed programming, including the cathartic strains of holiday music and dramatic readings of classic holiday tales.

Bring the magic of the holiday season to your home as you watch the Aquarium’s animals receive flavorful holiday delights during this free virtual event. Watch as the Aquarium's staff give special treats to the animals, including sea otters, a sea lion, and an octopus.

Deck the halls and trim the tree -- your CSO is coming home for Christmas! This lively program is chock full of holiday cheer, streamed right to your living room.
