Join us at Helen and Tayloe Murphy Hall, decorated just right for the season on December 21st from 1-4p.m. at Westmoreland State Park.

Holly in the snow

Well we will not have chestnuts roasting over an open fire but how does toasted marshmallows sound?

If standing outside by the fire is not your "cup of tea", how about sitting by the fire inside, rocking your cares away to the sound of live holiday music? Fresh warm cider, hot chocolate and scrumptious cookies will be on the menu too!

 Chat with family and friends or try your hand at holiday crafts at the elves workshop. Santa will visit from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. There will be great specials going on in our gift shop just in time for the holidays! If you're up for a hike, walk down Big Meadows Trail (PDF) to Fossil Beach and hunt for shark's teeth and other fossils.
