St. Nicholas Day at the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum is on Saturday, December 4th, 2010 from 12 noon - 4 pm. The day begins with warm cider, speculas ginger cookies, seasonal crafts for the entire family, and a house tour with senior docent, Lucie Chin.

At 1 pm, learn and enjoy traditional holiday music with colonial balladeer, Linda Russell. Learn a traditional song to welcome St. Nicholas and Black Piet as they arrive on horseback at 2 pm.

As children feed carrots to the horses, St. Nicholas and Black Piet will have children write their names in the naughty and nice list. Afterward, they will tell stories of holidays past!
