Bring your family to enjoy the Christmas decorations of a Victorian home while learning the history and legends of many of our modern holiday traditions. During this special evening tour, based on historical research, we’ll take a look at how the Davis family celebrated Christmas in 1888. A Victorian Christmas will be brought to life through stories, displays, and two art installations. Snowflakes provided by local school and community groups will give The Castle a whimsical wintry feel. Get your tickets today!
