This is an event you won’t want to miss if you live anywhere near Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. It sounds like one of the most creative and enjoyable events of the season.

Christmas in Old Virginia will take place on December 5th at 3pm. at the Booker T. Washington Monument in Hardy, Va.

Step back in time and enjoy the cuisine, smells and visions of Christmas in the city in a by-gone era. The performance will include candlelit costumed tours, activities for the children, mulled apple cider, gingerbread, other tasty treats….and much more.

This re-enactment is based on Booker T. Washington’s memories of  Christmas in the mid-nineteenth century. The admission is free, so bring the whole family and have a fantastic visit to Christmas past.
