[Durham INC] Christmas at Stagville - Saturday Dec. 5

[Ellen Dagenhart]

"Christmas in the Big House, Christmas in the Quarters"

  Come celebrate the holidays at Historic Stagville Saturday, 
December 5, 2009 from 10am to 4pm. "Christmas in the Big House, 
Christmas in the Quarters," one of our largest annual events, allows 
guests to see and take part in traditions that were part of Christmas 
celebrations for both the planter family and the enslaved community. 
We recreate the experience of holiday festivities through vendors, 
artisans, decorations, crafts, games, food, and music. This event is 
free and open to the public. Visitors can walk through an 18th 
century plantation home decorated for the holidays and original slave 
quarters from the 1850s. Talk to Sid Luck; a 5th generation potter 
from Seagrove, try your hand as a blacksmith, or experience 
traditional African American storytelling, singing, and dancing with 
Sankofa Cultural group near our slave quarters at Horton Grove.
