Holiday Tea and Lecture at Arrowhead

Join historian Lorraine German for a tea and talk about the origins of Santa Claus. She will present her talk – How Santa Claus Came to Town – that tells the story of Santa Claus in America, tracing his journey from beloved European saint to New Amsterdam’s St. Nicholas and finally to the jolly gift-giver we’re all familiar with.  Included in the discussion will be the role that members of the New York Historical Society played in successfully marketing him to the public.
