Looking for a fun, inspirational, and family-friendly tradition for Christmas?

The 3B Homestead at Murdock, NE has just the thing for you!  It’s called

The Living Nativity 2026

 

This is the 11th year for The Living Nativity.  It is not a nativity “scene”, but a unique and interactive presentation of The Story from Luke 2. Real farm animals, each in separate stalls and pens, agricultural items, and volunteers help tell the true meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate!   It's really fun, educational, and one-of-a-kind.

 

• Every weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas is open for an                in-the-barn experience.  Guests walk through the grand old 1888 barn and experience the animals close up as they hear The Story from Luke 2. Cocoa and live music are also a part of the in-the-barn visit. Plan to stay about an hour and a half.

              November 29, December 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20 … 2:00 to 5:00 pm.

 

• The Saturday after Thanksgiving and two days before Christmas are open for a drive-through-only experience. Guests stay in their car to view the animals and listen to The Story on a podcast.

               November 28 and December 23, 24 … noon to 5:00 pm. 

 

• Weekday Private Tours for youth groups, office staff, homeschool groups, friend groups, interest groups, etc. can be scheduled by texting or calling Sondra Buell at 402-867-1802 to select a day and time during the week.  A walk-in-the-barn, a drive-through-the-homestead, and a group story telling time are included in a private tour.

 

All visits include a visit to The Stable Store gift shop.

 

The Living Nativity is held in rural Murdock, NE located on Highway 1 between Murdock and Elmwood at 7603 298th Street. It is a 35 to 40 minute drive from Lincoln or Omaha. No tickets are needed; it is a free community outreach of the 3B Homestead.  Donations are appreciated to help offset the expenses of the events.
