Holiday traditions come to life at Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park during Old Mill Holidays, an annual celebration featuring traditional crafts, seasonal music, and activities for all ages.

Visitors can create something special to take home, from a wreath of fresh greenery to handmade ornaments and fragrant, clove-studded citrus pomanders.

Try your hand at writing with a quill pen, stringing popcorn, and decorating a gingerbread cookie.

Enjoy holiday carols, warm apple cider, and freshly baked cookies.

Watch the historic water-powered mill in action and explore traditional fiber arts, including spinning wool into yarn.

Weather permitting, the event will also feature a holiday artisan market with handmade goods and gifts from local makers.

Gather your family and friends and make Old Mill Holidays part of your holiday traditions.

Spend a day creating and exploring at the historic Bale Grist Mill.
