Fort Towson Historic Site will host Christmas at the Fort on Saturday, December 12, from 1 to 3 p.m.

During this free event, guests can learn about 19th-century traditions and meet a soldier in an 1860s military camp who is anxiously awaiting packages from home. A living history interpretation will depict some of the long-lasting Christmas traditions still practiced today and others that have long been forgotten.

Santa will be warming up to a cozy fire in the sutler store, giving out treats to all the kids who stop by. Visitors to the site can also take a tractor tour of the grounds and play historic games.
