Visit Mount Clare for a
day of holiday programming for the whole family. Step back 250 years
and experience Mount Clare decorated in yuletide splendor to put you
in the holiday spirit! Self-guided tours of the beautifully
decorated mansion will be offered from 10 o’clock until 3 o’clock.
The Monumental City Ancient Fife and Drum Corps will perform outside
on the front steps in the morning. Inside, the a cappella group,
Singers Madrigale, will regale you throughout the afternoon with
holiday tunes of old. Baltimore’s very own Mounted Police Unit has
been invited to come to the park to perform demonstrations and spend
time with the visitors. Founded in 1888, one of the original stables
for this unit is in Carroll Park. This is the oldest continuous
mounted unit within the United States. Mount Clare’s kitchen will
host a demonstration by a costumed interpreter making Maryland’s
famous beaten biscuits.

Celebrate the Yuletide Season with Special Candlelight Tours!

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine will be offering its
annual Yuletide Candlelight tours on December 3, 2011 from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00
p.m. Seeing a fort is a different Yuletide experience from any other!
Discover how Yuletide celebrations and Fort McHenry’s role changed over
time. Join the Park Rangers for an exciting walk through the War of 1812,
Civil War, World War I and World War II and a rare glimpse of Fort McHenry
at night! Tours are free and last approximately 45 minutes.

Today, the Yuletide season is seen by many as a time of getting together
with family, being at home, parties, dinners, gift-giving and religious
observances. Throughout Fort McHenry’s history, however, many spent the
holidays performing guard duty, writing letters home, guarding prisoners or
recuperating from battlefield wounds. During the course of each tour,
visitors will encounter soldiers, sailors and civilians from various eras
of the fort’s history. Listen to them tell their story and discover how
they observed the holiday season at Fort McHenry over the last 200 years.
