Yuletide in the Country
Fridays – Sundays through December 18th
Decking the Halls for Yuletide: Take a trip back in time at the Genesee Country Village & Museum to Christmas 1849 — the year New York State made December 25th an official holiday.
This special program is different than a usual daytime visit to the museum. Using the historic village as its canvas, tour guides will lead guests through the snow-covered streets in the year 1849 when New York declared Christmas, Independence Day and New Years Day state holidays. Enjoy music, dancing and tree lighting as you visit village homes and businesses to see how residents react to the news of Christmas as a holiday!
