Liberty Hall Museum Spreads Holiday Cheer with Special Events, Dec 2012

Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University celebrates the Yuletide season with a series of special events throughout the month of December. Designed for young children and their families, visitors to the museum will enjoy holiday activities in the historic mansion of New Jersey’s first elected governor, William Livingston. During the holiday season, the first floor of Liberty Hall will be transformed into a Victorian Christmas. You will hear about Victorian Christmas traditions as the servants put the final touches on the decorations for the Kean family's holiday festivities. Reservations are required for all events for those wishing to eat, drink and be merry while discovering the living past!
