Holidays at Hallockville Open House

Hallockville Museum Farm, an authentic, preserved 28-acre North Fork farm homestead, will showcase old-fashioned holiday traditions during the Holidays at Hallockville Open House on Sunday, December 7 from 12: noon to 3 p.m.

Costumed docents will lead tours of the historic Hallock Homestead which will be decorated for a Victorian Christmas, and explain why Christmas celebrations were banned by early East End settlers and eventually came to the North Fork primarily as a secular celebration. In the Cichanowicz Farmhouse docents will recreate a Polish Christmas Eve celebration from the 1930s. The Hudson-Sydlowski House will welcome visitors for holiday shopping at the Museum Store featuring exclusively handcrafted items. The Trubisz House will feature a charming toy exhibit. There will also be carolers, a puppet workshop and children’s crafts. Admission to Historic Holidays at Hallockville is free and is sponsored in-part by Suffolk County.
