If the hustle and bustle, the tinsel and glitter of a 21st century Christmas makes you long for a simpler day, then join the Bergen County Historical Society for their 36th Annual Colonial Christmas Concerts and Tavern Fare.

​Performances take place in the historically decorated 267-year-old Steuben House at 6 pm and 7:45 pm each evening, where Linda Russell and Companie will whisk you back to Yuletides of yesteryear with the carols of your childhood and stories of Christmas past. 

You can stroll through the candlelit site to the Blackhorse Inn, open 5 pm- 9:30 pm for a light supper or dessert of period favorites such as shepherd's pie, macaroni & cheese, onion & cheese pie, English trifle, selection of Dutch sweets, cake donuts, and cider.

Take a moment to visit Sinterklaas in the Demarest House or the ladies working at the fire in the out-kitchen, and don't forget to stop in the gift shop for a unique and perfect present.
