TAMWORTH VILLAGE, NH - Ease into the holiday season and learn about the rich history of New Hampshire homesteading during Homestead Christmas on Saturday, December 5 from 12-3 p.m. at Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm in Tamworth Village. This seasonal event will allow all generations to feel as though they've stepped back in time through the sights, tastes, smells, sounds and hands-on activities of a bygone time.

The event takes place on the museum and farm's 200+-year-old farmstead and will showcase the decorated Captain Enoch Remick House for tours led by costumed interpreters. The stately house is on the National Register of Historic Places and was the boyhood home of country doctor Dr. Edwin C. Remick and houses the original doctor's office he shared with his father.

Throughout the event, samples of Victorian Christmas cookies and syllabub, a historic celebratory drink, will be offered. Demonstrations of 19th-century open-hearth and wood stove cooking will be ongoing and provide visitors with samples of foods prepared in each manner.

The museum stable will be open, allowing for firsthand visits with farm animals. In the Museum Center, seasonal exhibits and decorations will be on display, and the museum's herbalist will share plant medicine history and samples at the Apothecary. Holiday crafts will be available for the young and young at heart.

In addition, the museum store will be open for shopping, featuring RemickMade items and handcrafted goods made by local artisans. Admission is $5 per person; there is no charge for children ages four and under.

Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm is an agricultural museum and a working farm, located in the heart of Tamworth Village, NH, and is a member museum of Experience New Hampshire Heritage: The Portsmouth to Plymouth Museum Trail. The mission of Remick is to educate a broad and diverse public to the value and significance of the medical practice and agricultural way of life of the country doctor and to preserve and interpret the Remick property and collections for the benefit of the public.
