Event Details
Discover how American Christmas traditions changed over three centuries on this special holiday tour of Historic Hanna’s Town. Costumed guides lead you through buildings from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries adorned in period-correct decorations and share stories of Christmas past.
When people came to America, they brought the traditions from their homeland with them. Over time, various customs were borrowed or melded with the practices of others, and by the latter part of the 19th century, an American tradition of Christmas began to emerge that united various cultural customs.
Learn about the origins of the Christmas tree, the tradition of mailing cards, the evolution of Santa Claus, and so much more while enjoying the historical ambiance of Hanna’s Town and sampling holiday treats.
Tours begin at 10:15 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 12:45 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Space is limited and advanced registration is required. Register now for this unique holiday event by calling 724-836-1800 ext. 210.
Program fee: $10.00 for Westmoreland Historical Society members, $12.00 for others.
The Westmoreland History Shop will be open during these programs. Browse a variety of quality gifts including books for adults and children, vintage toys and games, stocking stuffers, ornaments, candles, cards and stationery, dishware, teas, baking mixes, jams, and home décor.

The 2025 Arthur St. Clair Awards will be presented at the 25th Annual Arthur St. Clair Historic Preservation Awards Dinner on Wednesday, November 5th, at Rizzo’s Banquet Hall in Crabtree.
The St. Clair Award is presented to those individuals, organizations, businesses or educational institutions that have made a significant and sustainable contribution to the preservation of our historic places, documents, records or stories, and by doing so, are keeping alive Westmoreland County’s rich history and heritage for future generations.
The award is named in honor of Arthur St. Clair, an important figure in the founding of Westmoreland County. When the cause of the American Revolution beckoned, Arthur St. Clair answered that call and rose to the rank of Major General in the Continental Army. After the war he served as the president of Congress under the Articles of Confederation and as the first governor of the Northwest Territory.
