Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site hosts Hopewell for the Holidays, a special event at the historic iron plantation. The park lists it as a craft and cultural demonstration, living history, and talk program, so expect staff and volunteers presenting the site's holiday season traditions.

The event runs from late morning into the afternoon and is free to attend. Check the schedule panel on this listing for the current date and times.

The park has not yet posted full program details. We suggest checking the park's own event page closer to the day for the list of demonstrations and talks, and dressing for the weather since much of the site is outdoors.
