December 13 & 14 10 am - 4pm
Discover the wonder of a 19th-century Christmas at Wade House. The sights, sounds, and smells will transport you back to when the holidays had a stronger focus on family gatherings and time together. The halls of the Wade House Stagecoach Inn will be decked with fresh garland, greenery, and a Victorian Christmas tree for the holiday season, showcasing how the Wade family and their many visitors would have celebrated Christmas. Activities include live holiday music, cookie decorating, games, scavenger hunts, classic holiday treats, crafts, and a reading of "The Night Before Christmas."
