In addition, John and Carla Whitfield, of Martinsville, will be in the outdoor kitchen providing an interpretation of how the enslaved residents of the plantation would have participated in the holiday.
At 3 p.m., the Community Enrichment Center will be open with traditional Appalachian Christmas foods to enjoy, traditional crafts to make, and music by the Mary Jo and Charlie Show.
