Each year we host special events as a way to get our friends and neighbors together and enjoy the past. We hope you will join us for the Easter Egg Hunt, Ghosts of Millard's Crossing, and the Old Fashioned Christmas.
PineKnot -
4th Friday of each month at 8:00 p.m (except July and December)
Every fourth Friday, there is free live music performed either in the chapel or on the grounds in summer.
Talented amateur and professional groups from all over East Texas come to the Village to perform beginning at 8:00 pm. Every event covers an exciting variety of styles including folk, blues, Cajun, Latin and some you haven't thought of. The event is BYOB and people are welcome to bring coolers, deck chairs, children and pets for a relaxed and informal musical evening. The PineKnot Music Co-op accepts donations to support this event. For a specific list of performers, see the PineKnot Music Co-op web site.

Summer Camps
Summer camps for children 8-12 help us portray the spirit and ingenuity of pioneer settlement in East Texas and connect present generations with those of the past. Children of the 19th century worked hard but they had a lot of fun too. We do both at our summer camps.
