Beginning December 5th, Ohio History Connection brings you Dickens of a Drive-Thru. Ohio History Connection has cleverly adapted their annual experience this year to a drive-thru. Dickens of a Drive-Thru gives families and guests a chance to see Charles Dickens’ festive vision of Christmas come to life in Ohio Village from the safety of their own vehicles. Car radios will play Christmas songs sung by Ohio Village Singers while guests drive through a bustling village full of joyful townsfolk taking part in holiday traditions the 19th century way. During your drive, you’ll see villagers dancing and singing, decorating Christmas trees, homes and business in Ohio Village, shopping for presents, and more! Along the way, you’ll also see 19th-century characters like St. Nick and Krampus, the Ghost of Christmas Present, Jacob Marley, Scrooge, and Santa Claus himself.
