Twelfth Night Celebration!
An evening of merriment! Once again, Schuyler Mansion and the Friends of Schuyler Mansion will welcome visitors for our annual Twelfth Night Celebration, "Salutations of the Season!" From 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. the site will host an open house, replete with 18th century holiday fare, live music, bonfires (weather permitting!), period reenactors, wassail toasts and more!
Admission: $7.00 Adults / $6.00 Seniors & Students / $2.00 Children (12 and under).
Then cross the river to Crailo State Historic Site, where the celebration continues with Yuletide decorations, hearthside cooking, live music, reenactors, and other festive traditions of the 17th century! Both events run concurrently and a combination ticket, which includes both historic houses, is available. Twelfth Night, or the Feast of Epiphany, was one of the traditional holidays celebrated by the Dutch and English of 17th and 18th century New York. Falling on January 6th, Twelfth Night was the final holiday of the season, marked by unsurpassed feasting and revelry. Come and celebrate with us! Snow date: Sun., Jan 7th, 4:00 – 7:00 p.m.
