Strawbery Banke is a fun and interactive museum, with something for everyone! Before it was converted to a museum, Strawbery Banke was the oldest European settlement in New Hampshire, from that settlement there are more than 30 restored buildings. One of these buildings is the original Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, which will be open for free tours for Masons and their families. On top of these remarkable buildings, Strawbery Banke offers great activities like an open skating rink, their famous candlelight stroll, a bonfire going all night to warm up around, as well as Christmas carolers, a live band, and horse-drawn sleigh rides going on around the Museum!
The skating rink is equipped with an indoor changing area and a warm viewing cafe for anyone who may just want relax and enjoy the view of the lovely rink. The candlelight stroll is an annual tradition at the museum, where participants walk through the museum illuminated by hundreds of candles. On the stroll, you’ll receive hot apple cider, and see characters preparing for traditional Christmas and Hanukkah celebrations.

At 7:00 p.m. it is requested that all Valley participants meet by the bonfire for a group photo.
