Colonial Dutch Christmas Celebrated At Wyckoff House
Among the proceedings to which visitors were treated were a performance of colonial music by Linda Russell, who plays traditional tunes on an 18th century stringed instrument called a mountain dulcimer, a visit from St. Nicholas, AKA Santa Claus, on horseback and his mischievous companion, Black Piet, participating in creating po-manders - or scents - to enhance a room and taste just-warmed apple cider. Museum director Sean Sawyer said, "We are thrilled to continue this centuries-old tradition at the Wyckoff Farmhouse. We had a great day with lots of kids and their families. We especially want to thank the Canar-sie Courier for its support in promoting this and other Wyckoff House events. We wish a happy holiday to everybody!" Photos by Bennett Silverman
