The Annual St. Distaff Day Celebration will be held on Sunday January 6, 2019, 1-5 pm at the Museum. Following the 12 Days of Christmas, medieval European tradition was for the women to return to work before the men, resulting in a demi-holiday, where much fun could be shared. All are invited to this final event of the holiday season! Guests and visitors are welcome as well.
