Christmas Crafts

11/14/2026 | Watkins Mill State Park and Watkins Woolen Mill State Historic Site | Lawson, Mo.

Join us in the AV room of the visitor to make Victorian Christmas crafts, listen to popular Christmas stories, and try an authentic Watkins Mill cookie. We will provide the craft supplies, and you will get to keep the ornaments and decorations that you create. Mrs. Claus will read the stories, and the cookies will come from the site's historic woodstove, using recipes from the Watkins Mill Cookbook.

This free event will begin at 10 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. There is no need to register; just show up and enjoy. All ages are welcome, but children must be supervised by an adult.
