VISIT CHRISTMASES PAST AT GEORGE RANCH HISTORICAL PARK’S
ANNUAL CAMPFIRE CHRISTMAS EVENT
RICHMOND – Visit “Christmases Past” at the George Ranch Historical Park’s annual Campfire Christmas event. Set for December 11, 12, 18 and 19, Campfire Christmas is an unforgettable evening of hearty food, Texas traditions and Christmas cheer on the Ranch.
First, guests will enjoy a multi-era holiday meal complete with 1930s cowboy music. After dinner, guests will jump back in time to visit a “newly-built” log cabin on Christmas Eve 1825. “Old 300” settlers Henry and Nancy Jones will share what life was like as a Texas pioneer on the wild frontier and will teach visitors about the early Welsh Christmas traditions of their ancestors.RICHMOND – Visit “Christmases Past” at the George Ranch Historical Park’s annual Campfire Christmas event.

Next, guests will jump forward 44 years to an 1869 campfire as the local cowboys pay a visit to the neighboring sharecropper for the evening. Hot cider and coffee will be served as the conversation turns to the growing systems of sharecropping and cattle drives of the era.
The evening’s final stop will be the Davis Victorian Mansion, which will be decked out for a festive family Christmas in 1888. “Guests will learn about the changes the family underwent in this critical year – and about special Victorian traditions,” said Director of Programs Krystal Willeby.
