"Toys Through Time" is the theme for Ruthmere's 2026 Holiday Tours! Designers and organizations throughout Elkhart have been invited to decorate rooms in the house once again in this friendly competition -- this time, using vintage or antique toys. Each room will have a different toy-related theme, and visitors will be able to vote for their favorite! The winner will get a donation to a local non-profit of their choice, which will be included on the voting sheets. Make sure to visit the Havilah Beardsley House, too, which will also have toys on display!
Designers and their non-profits are TBA.
As usual, the Christmas tours will begin the weekend after Thanksgiving, starting on November 29 and running through the end of the year. The last day to see the 2025 Christmas decorations will be Tuesday, December 30. Reservations are strongly encouraged at Christmas time - it’s one of our busiest times of the year! Call (574) 264-0330 to make your reservation.
Admission prices and hours are the same as they are during our regular tours - see our Regular Admission, Prices, and Hours page. https://ruthmere.org/Regular-Admission-and-Prices
Ruthmere will be closed December 24-26 for Christmas.
