It is always such a fun way to end our tour season! On Saturday, December 14, 4:30pm-7:30pm, you are invited to learn about a traditional Victorian Christmas celebration as you move throughout the old Hobson House, beautifully lit by candles and antique lamps. Our costumed docents will take you back in time as they explain the holiday traditions that would have taken place in each room. Our gift shop will be open and refreshments will be served in our meeting room. Parking will be available at the ball field and the Bowling Green Trolley will shuttle visitors to the mansion. Donations appreciated. There is still time to take advantage of our regularly scheduled tours before we close for the winter. Tours are given at the top of the hour, Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-3pm and Sunday, 1pm-3pm. Our museum will close after the Candlelight Tour on December 14, reopening Tuesday, March 4, 2025.-submitted by Riverview at Hobson Grove</div></body>
