Ol' St. Nick is coming to Sailor's Creek Battlefield! Join us for a festive day of Christmas cheer on Saturday, December 14, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. as we kick off the holiday celebrations! St. Nicholas will be waiting in the Hillsman House to greet children of all ages, ready to listen to their special gift requests. While you’re there, don’t forget to take a photo or two, and then head to the Visitor Center for crafts, hot chocolate, and a bit of history!
We love our four-legged friends, so feel free to bring them along - remember to keep them leashed. This is a rain-or-shine event, and it is free to the public. For more information or any questions, please contact us at the Visitor Center at 804-561-7510.
