Colonial Christmas Exhibits

Make the three museums of the New Castle Historical Society your first stop when you visit Historic New Castle. The town's cobblestones almost ring with the echoes of its diverse past. They'll share with you stories of three centuries of New Castle life, including Dutch colonists, revolutionary leaders, and 19th century Americans

From November 20th through December 31st, the Amstel House will be decorated for a traditional holiday celebration in colonial times, showing off a “dessert board” of the period, and featuring traditional 18th century customs during the period of Governor Nicholas Van Dyke’s residency.

At the Dutch House, experience a celebration of St. Nichols’ Eve, a tribute to the legend of Saint Nicholas, Dutch patron saint.
