Lecture Series - December

Culeper’s Christmas Past

Today, for many Christmas is a commercialized frenzy. The holiday sales have turned into an event all their own with Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. In 1931, in the midst of the Great Depression, Culpeper celebrated Christmas in a more subdued fashion but still filled with familiar traditions. Join us as Karen Quaintance and Christine Wuebker talk about how the Great Depression impacted Christmas in Culpeper and what local merchants did to try and keep the season full of hope and joy.

This program will be held at the museum. Space is limited so save your seat today and pay at the door! Admission is $5 per person but Museum members get in FREE.
