Historic Holidays – Fort Meigs Winter Festival

Step back in time this December with a family-friendly celebration of how people marked the winter season during the early American era. The event features hands-on activities including ornament painting, making quill-and-ink Christmas cards, wax sealing letters, and decorating cookies. Live holiday music sets a festive atmosphere throughout the day, and you'll learn about winter traditions from Fort Meigs' historical period through a dedicated presentation. Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, and $5 for children. Warm refreshments—hot mulled cider, hot mulled tea, hot cocoa, and cookies—are available to enjoy while you explore. The museum shop offers unique holiday gift options if you'd like to pick up something special. Please note that due to cold weather, this year's celebration has moved indoors to the Fort Meigs Visitor Center, making it a cozy option for families looking for seasonal activities.
