Enjoy Holiday Programs at LBL

Celebrate the spirit of the holiday season by getting outdoors in LBL and take part in a variety of fun, traditional, and educational programs!
On Saturday, Nov. 26, from 1-4pm, The Homeplace celebrates Christmas in 1850.  Enjoy the smell of homemade cookies, stockings hung over the fireplace, and voices raised in song, signifying that Christmas has come to The Homeplace.  Learn to make simple Christmas decorations, collect favorite holiday recipes, and relax to the sound of old-time Christmas tunes with the Dixie Volunteers.  Later, join in singing 1800’s Christmas carols as we usher in Santa Claus who will delight everyone with tales from his past. 
The Golden Pond Planetarium offers two holiday programs Wed.-Sun., beginning Nov. 25 through Dec. 23.  ‘Tis the Season and Christmas Story will allow visitors to discover cultural, seasonal, and religious rituals from around the world.  Admission is $4 ages 13 and up; $2 ages 5-12; free 4 and under.  Groups of 10 or more may make reservations by calling 270-924-2020. 
The Homeplace, Woodlands Nature Station, North and South Welcome Stations, and Golden Pond Planetarium and Visitor Center will be closed Thanksgiving Day.

  1. Any activities at The Homeplace or The Planetarium are worth their weight in gold. I could spend hours upon hours at each of these remarkable locations. The people are SO friendly and the views are breathtaking. See you there!
