A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Frankford
Frankford was founded in 1808 and took the name Frankford Village in 1848, the year it gained a post office. Today the town of 790 people keeps Christmas small and close to home, with the public library on Main Street hosting the season's programs for children.
How Frankford celebrates
Christmas programs for children in Frankford center on the Frankford Public Library, which lists its events on the Delaware Libraries calendar. On Monday, December 7, 2026, Santa and Mrs. Claus visit the Children's Room with their dog, Coco, to tell stories, perform magic and hear Christmas wishes. On Saturday, December 12, kids and teens ages 5 to 18 make Polaroid Christmas Cards in the Community Meeting Room, posing in holiday clothes and crafting a card around the photo. Both programs ask families to register online. Neither page describes its event as annual, so this guide lists them simply as this season's lineup.
Fun facts about Christmas in Frankford
Frankford sits on U.S. Route 113 in Sussex County, the southernmost county in Delaware, and was incorporated in 1937, long after its founding in 1808. The arrival of the Pennsylvania Railroad brought a hotel, shops and an opera house, making the town a commercial and cultural center. The Capt. Ebe Chandler House, built in 1880, joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The 2020 census counted 790 residents.

- Polaroid Christmas Cards: Kids and teens dress up for an instant photo at the library and turn it into a card to send or keep.
- A railroad town: Frankford grew into a commercial center when the Pennsylvania Railroad arrived, and the Delmarva Central and Maryland and Delaware railroads still meet in town.
A fact for kids
When the railroad came to Frankford, the little town got a hotel and even its own opera house. Two railroads still meet in Frankford today.
