Saint Nicholas Day Celebration
This is a traditional holiday for children which dates back to the fourth century and was brought to America by the early Dutch and Palatine pioneers. It was a prelude to the holiday season and was a special day for children, who received their presents on this day because December 25 was reserved for the religious observance of Jesus' birth. The celebration is from a rich heritage that is preserved at Fort Klock through colonial music, homemade cookies and gingerbread, stollen, hot chocolate and spiced cider, treats for all. Saint Nicholas will give all children a homemade wooden ornament. Added to this, will be militia drills, a storyteller, music, roaring fires and traditional decorations of pine boughs and a tree.
