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

Guests can learn about 19th-century traditions and meet a soldier in an 1860s military camp anxiously waiting to receive packages from home. A living history interpretation will depict some of the long-lasting Christmas traditions that continue to be practiced today and others that have been long forgotten.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be warming up to a cozy fire in the sutler store, giving out cookies and toys. Visitors to the site, initially established in 1824, can also take a tractor tour of the grounds and play historic games.

Christmas at the Fort is a FREE event. For more information, call 580-873-2634 or email [email protected]. The Fort Towson Historic Site is located at 896 N. 4375 Rd. in Fort Towson.
