About this Event
The Luzerne County Historical Society is proud to announce it is once again hosting a holiday program. On Saturday and Sunday, December 6th and 7th, 2025, the Society will host “Christmas at the historic Swetland Homestead", 885 Wyoming Avenue in Wyoming. The event will feature both modern and historic takes on the holiday season.
Inside the house, guests will be transported to 1825 and will learn all about the holiday season 200 years ago. See what passed for decorations, and learn all about the traditions of this new celebration, Christmas Day. See how what at the dawn of America had been literally “just another day” is now, 50 years later, is beginning to shed its religious roots and is slowly turning into the celebration we all know today.
Outside the house, present day Christmas features heavily, with Santa Claus and his helper, a choice of on site crafts for the kids, and a selection of local food trucks. Bring your letters for Santa, and get present from his helper, and after making your craft and taking photos, visit the Darling House (onsite) for a wide array of last-minute gift ideas in our gift shop. Finally, grab lunch at one of the food trucks onsite, featuring Belgian waffles, Caribbean cuisine, and more.
The event runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Tickets for LCHS members are just $5 and nonmembers are just $10 each. Tickets include tours of the house, visits with Santa, and the children's crafts. For more info, call 570-823-6244 ext. 3 or email [email protected]. No reservations are required, tickets can be purchased at the door.
