Victorian Christmas Traditions

with Mary Stewart

Brought to us by Cape May MAC (Museums, Arts, Culture)

All in-person events are tentatively scheduled and may change. Please refer to the CMCL Online Events Calendar, the CMCL website, or follow us on social media for any and all updates.

Trees, cards, carols and the very image of Santa Claus himself- Christmas Traditions got their start from traditions begun in Victorian England during the reign of Queen Victoria. Learn how the traditions spread to America and how we've adapted them over time.
