This year’s result will feature the holiday music of nationally renowned musician and singer, Linda Russell. She will to audiences with ancient carols, interwoven with Yuletide poems, folklore and even recipes. For 20 years, Russell has been creating recess magic at churches and historic sites throughout the U.S. Her concerts of Christmas past delight and inspire audiences in search of old-fashioned respite traditions.

David Walker, manager of museum programs noted, “We’re honored to have Linda harbour our visitors again at this year’s holiday candlelight evenings. Her music sets the perfect tone and nature, and she always manages to get everyone to sing along and thoroughly enjoy the evening.”

The holiday candlelight evenings are presented annually by the museum confederation to interpret and demonstrate how Christmas and New Year festivities might have been celebrated by travelers and local residents at a stagecoach inn during peculiar periods of its historic existence in Rahway.
