Description:
Locust Grove was once home to Henry Livingston, Jr., the man whom many scholars now believe was the author
of the famous holiday poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Livingston descendant Mary S. Van Deusen introduced a computer-based exhibit on the
life of Henry Livingston, Jr., at 4:15 PM in the Visitor Center.
And at 5:00 PM, Mary S. Van Deusen led a candlelight reading of the poem.
Visitors were invited to bring candles.
