Holidays @ Heritage
Hundreds of school children visit Lambton Heritage Museum each year to participate in our holiday-themed program, formerly known as A Child's First Christmas in Canada.
Learn about holidays in early Lambton and explore festive traditions brought to Canada from around the world. Students rotate through hands-on activity and craft stations, visit the museum's historic outbuildings, and receive a warm welcome in the Tudhop Home.
Available from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from November 21 - December 20.
Suggested grade level: Kindergarten to Grade 4
Holidays @ Heritage has close curriculum links with Gr. 2 Heritage and Identity: Changing Family and Community Traditions, and Gr. 3 Heritage and Identity: Communities in Canada, 1780-1850.
