Old British New Year's Eve Celebration ~ March 24th
Although the Dutch had adopted the new calendar in 1582, the English held onto the old ways much longer. Which meant the January 1 New Year in the colony of New Netherland changed back to March 25th when the British took over in 1664!
Join us for an evening celebration featuring a short historical overview of the calendar history and traditions by Philipse Manor Hall Site Manager Michael Lord, followed by live music by Carla & Keyes, dancing, and a faux New Year’s Eve countdown. Featuring hors d’oeuvres and 18th century punch.
Hosted by the Friends of Philipse Manor Hall, tickets for this event are $25 for Friends members, $35 for the general public. Tickets include refreshments. All proceeds benefit Philipse Manor Hall educational programs.
