AVictorianChristmasatSirGeorge-ÉtienneCartierNationalHistoricSite
This holiday season, don't miss a Victorian Christmas at Sir George-Étienne Cartier National Historic Site, where you'll experience the preparations for a 19th-century bourgeois Christmas.
You'll be welcomed into Sir George-Étienne Cartier's Victorian home, decorated as in the old days. Accompanied by a guide, you'll move from the living room to the dining room, stopping at Madame Cartier's bedroom. Each of them having a different theme, you will learn about the traditions of the past, some of which are still present today, such as the Christmas tree and decorations.
End your visit by discussing what you've learned over a hot drink from this era, such as wassail and spiced hot chocolate.
