Old Fort Western Guide photo

Old Fort Western will present an Old Time Christmas open house, Saturday, November 28th from 1:00pm-4:00pm as part of the Riverfront Holiday Celebration sponsored by the City of Augusta and the Augusta Downtown Alliance.

Take a ride on a horse-drawn hay wagon, then warm yourself around a bon fire while you listen to the South Parish Congregational Church Choir. Inside the Fort, sit near the fireplace in the parlor and experience a 19th century Victorian Christmas. Children and adults can participate in decorative paper-cutting by the hearth and listen to a reading of “Twas the Night Before Christmas” in the barracks room by candlelight.

Afterwards, view the City’s traditional holiday tree lighting and fireworks display at Waterfront Park beginning at 5:00pm.

Admission is free of charge, however donations are always welcome and proceeds benefit educational programs, the preservation of the Fort, and the promotion and continued research of history in the Kennebec Valley. For more information please call (207) 626-2385 or e-mail us at . You can also visit our website at www.oldfortwestern.org.
