Old Fashioned Christmas in Coloma / Nov.29 & 30 / $7 + parking

Dear History Friends - 

I wanted to let you know about an exciting and fun Christmas event taking place in Coloma right after Thanksgiving. 

Celebrate an old fashioned Christmas in Coloma with the Historic Holiday House, on Saturday
and Sunday, November 29^th & 30^th  from 10-4 at the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park.
Thirteen of the park’s buildings will be open for a Historic Holiday House Tour.
Docents at each house will tell the history of the building and the houses will be beautifully decorated for an
 “old fashioned Christmas” to get you in the holiday mood.   You’ll also enjoy wreath making, refreshments,
cookie decorating, wagon rides, music, a snow pile (weather permitting), a cozy bonfire to warm you and of
course SANTA!  The Gold Rush Mercantile Shop next to
the museum will be open to take you back to 1849, as it offers many unusual souvenirs and gifts.
 You'll want to stop by The Gold Trail Grange who will be featuring a Holiday Market with 16
quality vendors offering a variety of unique locally made arts and crafts gifts as well as baked goods, a hot lunch
bistro, caramel apples and more!
       With something fun for everyone, you can bring your whole family.  Your holiday guests are
sure to enjoy visiting the crown jewel of California State Parks on the banks of the beautiful South Fork
of the American River in Coloma.
       Parking is $8 per car and a wristband to tour the houses will be $7 per person (5 and under children
 are free.)
