​Take a break from the present and experience a 19th Century Christmas. Come and enjoy our village of historic homes and log cabins of the 1800s while reenactors bring the village to life. Visit St. Nicholas in his resplendent green velvet robes. Make your Christmas purchases at the Mercantile and post your St. Nicholas letter. Children will be able to visit with St. Nicholas and enjoy the traditional spirit of Christmas. The concession stand will be open selling cider, hot coco, and Christmas cookies. 
The Wilderness Run is a challenging cross-country run. Participants will run through the village, around the fields, up and down hills, over logs, through the woods, across creeks, and more! Don't think you can run? Don't worry, walkers, you too can sign up for this fun challenging course. 
Shoal Creek Living History Museum is located in beautiful Robert H. Hodge Park, 7000 NE Barry Rd., Kansas City, Missouri, 64156. Located just off Hwy 152, Shoal Creek is between I-435 (to the west) and I-35 (to the east), just 2 miles west of Liberty, Missouri.


The Annual Wilderness Run is held on the first Saturday in November.
