Remick Country Doctor museum & Farm decorated for the holidays
The holiday season brings special magic to the New Hampshire Heritage Museum Trail, with member institutions across the state offering festive programming that celebrates both the season and New Hampshire’s rich heritage. In Tamworth, Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm presents two events that capture the warmth and wonder of a traditional New England Christmas.
At “Trees & Trimmings” on Saturday, December 13, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., visitors will experience Christmas trees decorated to complement museum exhibits, illuminated by candlelight and twinkling lights. Activities will include ornament-making workshops, displays of vintage Christmas decorations, and Victorian Christmas card making presented by the Arts Council of Tamworth.
“We’re pleased to begin this holiday tradition that connects visitors with historical Christmas celebrations,” said Cara Sutherland, Executive Director of Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm.
The Remick will also host “A New England Christmas” on December 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., featuring two performances by Portsmouth’s Pontine Theatre. Each performance presents a regional holiday story, using antique stage techniques, such as toy theatre figures and rolling panoramas. The 45-minute program is suitable for ages 14 and above, with preregistration required.
“Holiday programming at our member institutions provides families with unique experiences that also highlight New Hampshire’s cultural heritage,” said Jeff Barraclough, President of the New Hampshire Heritage Museum Trail.”The Remick is just one of nearly two-dozen institutions on The Trail, with many offering unique experiences this holiday season.”
The New Hampshire Heritage Museum Trail connects the public with culturally rich heritage institutions across the state’s Lakes Region, White Mountains, Merrimack Valley, and Seacoast.
