NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. – Adams Homestead and Nature Preserve invites visitors to get in the holiday spirit and take a step back in time by attending the annual Christmas at the Homestead on Saturday, Nov. 14, from noon to 4 p.m. CST. 

The free family event features tours of the Stavenger Church, Shay/Adams House and Lamont Country School, decorated for the Christmas season. Adams Homestead volunteers will show off their talents in each of the homestead buildings. Visitors will also hear Christmas carols from St. Bonifice Choir in the church from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m., roast hot dogs and popcorn over a campfire, enjoy refreshments in the Visitor Center and make children’s crafts in the school throughout the day.
