Colonial Christmas in Jacobus Vanderveer House

Jacobus Vanderveer House was on site of the first American Military Training Academy. It also served as headquarters for General Knox during winter of 1778-79. The house has a great collection of the pieces from colonial times. In December every year the house is decorated for Christmas with trees decorated in the style of colonial times and colonial re-enactors. We were lucky to see women cooking on the fire and men dressed as soldiers of Continental Army.
