Step back in time for an autumn evening celebrating South Jersey heritage, Saturday, November 7, as the Friends of Historic Cold Spring Village host the annual Candlelight Walking Tour and Reception, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Luminaries will line the paths and guide you to several of the Village’s restored historic buildings where wine, beer and a variety of light fare will be served.
HCSV Education Director Jim Stephens will present demonstrations and an interpretation in the Coxe Hall Cottage, the Village’s oldest building—c. 1691.
Old-fashioned pulled pork, fresh bread other popular items will be featured in several buildings. Enjoy fireside desserts, live musical entertainment and hot beverages at the Village Pavilion.
A special holiday sale at the Country Store (excludes Village artisan wares) will feature heritage wares and a wide variety of historical toys.
HCSV Executive Director Anne Salvatore delights in showcasing the Village at this particular event.
“Experiencing the fall foliage of the Village, lit at dusk, is truly a memorable evening,” Salvatore says. “This is a tradition we hope to continue for years to come.”
Tickets are $20 and must be purchased in advance; a portion of the proceeds benefits the HCSV Education Fund. The event will begin at the Route 9 entrance to the Village.
