Upcoming Events
Sneek Peak Screening!
A Life Reimagined:
The George Masa Story
Saturday, November 22 | 7PM
This Sneak Peek Screening is presented courtesy of the filmmaker and in cooperation with the Appalachian Trail Museum in honor of the 100th Anniversary of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and with support from the Jefferson Arts Council.
Coming this Holiday Season:
Mildred's Merry Market
Saturday, December 13 | 10AM - 3PM
Step back in time this holiday season and experience the charm of the 1700s at Mildred’s Merry Market, hosted at the historic Happy Retreat in Downtown Charles Town.
Inspired by the markets and gatherings of Charles and Mildred Washington’s era, this festive event transforms Happy Retreat into a scene from centuries past. Guests will stroll through the historic home visiting with artisans, makers, and merchants offering handcrafted wares, art and décor, fine foods, and unique holiday gifts.
The air will be filled with the sound of carolers and period music, the scent of mulled cider and baked breads, and the warmth of neighbors coming together to celebrate the season much as they would have in the early days of Charles Town. Costumed vendors and volunteers will bring the colonial spirit to life, inviting guests to slow down, shop local, and share in traditions both old and new.
Join us in honoring the heritage of our town and the season—where history, community, and holiday magic meet.
