Experience Christmas as the frontier families knew it, no electric lights, no plastic Santas, just candlelight, greenery, period music, and the warmth of an open hearth. Rocky Mount's Frontier Christmas is a quiet, beautiful counter-program to modern holiday excess, showing visitors how the Cobb family and their neighbors would have celebrated the season in the late 18th century. Handmade ornaments, traditional foods, and the simple joy of community in a dark season.
