Fearing the violence already visited on many of their friends and family by Revolutionary forces, those gathering at the Hall that Winter in this season of peace did so behind the protection of a wooden palisade and armed guards. It would be the final holiday season that the Johnsons spent at the Hall before it was confiscated in May of 1776, and the family arrested or driven out by the new Revolutionary government. Johnson Hall has recreated an example of these fortifications as part of the site?s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Revolution. In addition to the indoor festivities, this year's holiday event will feature reenactors interpreting the tenants and servants of the household standing guard on the defenses.
