Christmas in the Village
Escape to a simpler time and experience Christmas in the Cherokee Outlet as it was over 100 years ago, with the sights, smells and sounds of the holiday season. The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center's annual Christmas in the Village celebration is Friday 5-8 pm. Four historic buildings in Humphrey Heritage Village are decorated for Christmas circa 1900, including the Glidewell House, where every room is filled with the Christmas spirit. Step from the Glidewell's living room where the Christmas tree awaits presents for young and old into the dining room, set pristinely in anticipation of a mouth-watering Christmas dinner. Children can make and decorate their own Christmas ornaments, there will be hot beverages, choirs providing the holiday music and Santa will be there. Admission is $10 or $30 for a family of up to five people. Children age 5 and under are admitted free. The village will remain decorated through Dec. 29 and will be open during regular museum hours.
