REMICK MUSEUM HOLDS ANNUAL VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2008, 1-4PM.
Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm will hold its annual special event, Victorian Christmas, on Sunday, December 7, 2008, from 1-4pm. This year, our museum interpreters will prepare a sampling of traditional cakes, including Spice Cake, Honey Cake, Christmas Pound Cake, Pound Cake with Cherry Sauce, Brown Sugar Pound Cake, and Nun’s Cake.
Museum Interpreter, Virginia Taylor, explains, “We’ve searched far, and have found recipes dating back almost 200 years. Some of these cakes may not seem all that special to us, but they would have been considered something special at that time. We’re used to having any and all ingredients available to us whenever we want them. History tells us that this was not always the case. Housewives had to skimp and save in order to be able to afford extras for ‘fancy’ baking.”
Take a horse drawn wagon or sleigh ride with Brandy and Lady, Remick Museum’s own Belgian mare horses, weather permitting. In the Museum’s main building, make Christmas crafts, including cornucopia ornaments, evergreen door swags, and origami gift boxes.
The Captain Enoch Remick House will serve sugar cookies, warm from the Glenwood oven. The House will beautifully decorated, dotted with toys that once belonged to Dr. Edwin Crafts Remick and his wife, Marion.
Admission is $5 per person. Friends of Remick Museum receive at least one free admission to Victorian Christmas depending on her/his membership level. You can apply your admission fee to Historic Thanksgiving to a membership to the Friends of Remick Museum, and receive free general admission and free admission to special events for a whole year!
