\u201cThe atmosphere really gets you in because they do candlelight lighting, and so it\u2019s hard to see. You can see, but it really gets you into the mood of how people lived back then, how you would interact with people, and just seeing other people\u2019s faces and things,\u201d one attendee said. \u201cIt sets you back to the time and you don\u2019t want to take out your phone or use any modern things. So it really brings you to just a different time where it was just a little simpler.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main purpose of this is to give people a look back on their roots,\u201d Queens County Farm Museum 18th Century Adriance Farmhouse Curator Christina Lord-Barry said. \u201cOn how Queens was first founded and developed, how important taverns were in that time period and just to give them a taste of what it was like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a long-standing tradition here at the farm in the old historic house from 1772,\u201d Queens County Farm Museum Executive Director David Hughes said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to another busy season. It\u2019s going to run November through December and into January. And, you know, it\u2019s a special night. You\u2019re actually kind of stepping back into time here in a very wonderful night. You\u2019re basically absorbing the old atmosphere of the ambience of this house.\u201d<\/p>\n
