Learn how Sinterklaasavond (St. Nicholas eve) was celebrated in the home, and taste some of the tradition Dutch sweets which were part of the festivities. There will even be a surprise visit by a special guest - St. Nicholas himself! The program takes place at 11:00am, 12:15 and 1:30pm, and is designed especially for children. Due to limited space at the Homestead, advanced purchase is strongly suggested; walk-ins accepted if space allows,
