Expand to see the parent tip
The Gahanna Historical Society opens its historic homes at the Gahanna Historical Settlement for an old-fashioned Victorian Christmas on the first Saturday of December.
It is a gentle way to show kids how families decorated and celebrated long before electric lights, right in the middle of Olde Gahanna.
Parent tip: The settlement sits behind the Wendy’s on Granville Street, so look for it there rather than on High Street itself.

Expand to see the parent tip
Santa settles into the pioneer log house at the Gahanna Historical Settlement on two Saturday evenings in December to hear Christmas wishes.
An evening visit inside a historic cabin makes a cozier setting than a mall line, and it is hosted by the Gahanna Historical Society.
Parent tip: Bundle up, since the settlement is outdoors between buildings, and bring a camera for a photo by the log house door.

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.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
