For three days, you can surround yourself with the sights, smells, and tastes of the holiday with an old-fashioned twist.

During the first week of December, visitors can enjoy the Holiday Home Tour. This annual tradition invites visitors to explore beautifully decorated homes, each with its own unique holiday charm. A tour guide shares intriguing historical insights as you move through the homes.
