The Kitsap Historical Society puts on its fourth annual Mill Town Family Christmas. The event is a recreation of traditional festivities enjoyed by the pioneer settlers.

The historical Christmas event runs from 4 to 8 p.m. Dec. 11.

Old-fashioned caroling, tractor-drawn hayrides, roasted chestnuts, and hot cider are just a few of the attractions at this family event.

Performers and historical society staff will be dressed in traditional mill-town garb. Guest are also encouraged to come dressed as a pioneer or mill town attire to get into the spirit of the past.

A mill workers feast will be served in the historic dining room, followed by a special performance of "The Pioneer Christmas" by living history performer Tames Alan.

Tickets are $30 for adults, $15 for children 4-12, and free for children under 3. For reservations, call the Seabeck Conference center at 360-830-5010.
