Holidays at Heckscher Farm
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
This December, the Stamford Museum & Nature Center invites you to take a holiday from the holidays and come on up for a wintry stroll on Heckscher Farm, which is decked out in holiday cheer.
Take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the beautiful woodland setting. Visit their galleries, enjoy a complimentary cup of hot cocoa and take a stroll down their luminary path.
Admission to SM&NC will be free for everyone every Friday in December, with extended the hours on Heckscher Farm until 7 p.m. Then, at 7 p.m. come in from the cold to see "The Star of Bethlehem" a scientific exploration of the possible astronomical explanations for the Star of Bethlehem, in the Observatory. At 8 p.m. resident astronomer Charles Scovil will open up the Observatory deck for some great night viewing.
Fridays, Dec. 5, 12, 19 & 26.
