Celebrate the Season in Victorian Splendor

Step back in time and experience the magic of a Victorian Christmas at The Castle! Begin your afternoon with a festive, Victorian-inspired tea featuring a selection of historic tea-time treats paired with the flavors of the season. Following tea, enjoy a guided tour through The Castle’s beautifully decorated rooms, adorned with elegant holiday trimmings inspired by the Davis family’s 1888 Christmas celebration.

As you explore, knowledgeable guides will share the stories and traditions that brought the holidays to life in the late 19th century. Throughout the house, discover whimsical snowflake displays created by local schools and community groups — a charming touch of hometown artistry that completes this enchanting experience.
