Events & News
The Ferndale Heritage Society coordinates several annual special events throughout the year. Some of the events are in conjunction with the Old Settlers Association, the city of Ferndale, and the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce. Pioneer Park’s historic cabins are opened for public viewing during the Old Settlers Weekend, the last weekend in July. Other opportunities to view inside the log cabins for admission are during the summer tour season (May 15 through September 15) and during the Olde Fashioned Christmas event (first weekend in December) at the park. Special tours can be arranged by contacting the society. Heritage Society members volunteer during these events.
Olde Fashioned Christmas in Pioneer Village
“Star Light, Star Bright, visit Pioneer Village Tonight” during the first weekend in December. Located at Pioneer Park in Ferndale, the log cabins will be aglow like shimmery stars. Costumed volunteers will open the log cabin doors to greet you, so you feel the holiday cheer as it drifts into the winter air. Guests stroll around the ADA compliant sidewalks while enjoying Christmas music and over 90,000 lights that light your path. Inside the pavilion will be Santa, crafts for children, and refreshments. Adults $5, Children $3, Under 1 Free.
Non-member volunteers are welcome to help at the OFC setup sessions every Wed & Sat 9am-noon from now until the Event on the 6th.
