Join us for a candlelit guided tour and learn about holiday traditions in 18th-century Virginia, shared by costumed actors portraying George Washington’s family, friends, and enslaved or hired staff.

At our Revolutionary War Encampment, discover what it was like to be a Continental Army soldier stationed outside of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1775 as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of that historic year.

Explore the historic area, enjoy 18th-century music and dancing, and meet Aladdin, the Christmas camel.
