Join The Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park in celebrating the Hemingway Family’s tradition of generosity on December 26th!
On the day after Christmas, nobles presented gifts to their servants and people outside their manors.Their gifts, intended to welcome outsiders as family, were presented in boxes, hence the name of the day.
Traditional English music and food will be provided at the Museum and the Birthplace Home. Games for children include pictures with the Hemingway family and coloring your own Hemingway six-toed cat. Young artists will earn chocolate mice just like those Hemingway children received in their stockings at Christmas!
The Foundation will be collecting donations of food for the Oak Park and River Forest Food Pantry. Bring a non-perishable food item and receive $2 off your admission!
Admission: Family of Four: $45 / General Public: $25 / Senior/Youth $20
All events take place Monday, December 26th from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hemingway Museum, 200 N. Oak Park Avenue, and the Birthplace Home, 339 N. Oak Park Avenue. Advance reservations are not required. Tickets may be purchased at the door. For more information call (708) 848-2222.
