SUMMARY:Toys for Tots Collection
DESCRIPTION:Pamplin Historical Park is proud to be a collection point for Toys for Tots from November 25 through December 13\, 2019. Park admission is not required to drop off a gift. \nVisitors are invited to bring a new unwrapped gift during this time to the Park for distribution to under-privileged children whose parents cannot afford to buy gifts for Christmas. This coincides with the mission of the Toys for Tots program which “is to collect new\, unwrapped toys during October\, November and December each year\, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.” \nThe stated goal is to “deliver\, through a new toy at Christmas\, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible\, productive\, and patriotic citizens.” \nThe Toys for Tots program was founded in 1947 and is operated by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. As of 2016\, the Toys for Tots Program and Foundation have collected and distributed more than 512 million toys.

SUMMARY:A Christmas Past
DESCRIPTION:Experience the holidays in 19th century style. Families will enjoy the opportunity for children to meet a ‘Thomas Nast’ Santa Claus including photo opportunities and the chance to enjoy cookies and hot chocolate. Thomas Nast is considered to be the “Father of the American Cartoon” and among his most notable works is his creation of the modern version of Santa Claus. \nChildren will have the opportunity to participate in a craft making activity where the finished holiday craft can be taken home or presented as a gift to a friend. Guests are invited to sign a holiday card for mailing to active duty soldiers serving abroad away from home and family for the holidays. \nEveryone can step into the past with holiday trimmings and décor as the historic Tudor Hall is transformed into a mid-1800’s home for the holidays. Costumed interpreters will provide holiday specific programming throughout the day for this full immersion experience. As former U.S. President Calvin Coolidge said\, “Christmas is not a time nor a season\, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill\, to be plenteous in mercy\, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” \nSoldiers throughout time spent some holidays away from friends and family and Civil War soldiers did as well. Visitors will have the opportunity to see how soldiers decorated their quarters for the holidays and celebrated Christmas in the field while on campaign. Costumed interpreters will portray these soldiers and bring this special experience to life. \nAll activities are included with regular park admission and children ages 5 and under receive free admission.
