A Frontier Christmas Village

Frontier Christmas

Old Washington, Kentucky

 Candle Making

The wicks were dipped in the hot wax

and allowed to dry as they were dipping the rest

of the wicks.  It took over 90 dips to create a taper candle.

 Buildings from the 1700s line the streets

and beckon for you to come in

stepping back in time.

Knitting Demonstration

Many buildings have become antique shops

while others remain intact for tourist

and school groups to see a glimpse

into the Colonial life.

Visiting Old Washington puts me in

the Christmas mood and I enjoy

the sites and sounds of a simpler

time when one's focus was on

God, family and country.
