Victorian Christmas Traditions Evening Open House

Dec. 6 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

|This is a Recurring Event [see all in the series]
Every week on Friday and Saturday until December 28, 2024
| $15

A holiday tradition continues as once again each room of Hearthstone is overflowing with Christmas decorations that bring to life this season of merriment and wonder.

As always, there is a new theme this year with all decorations hand-crafted to match by our dedicated curation staff and volunteers and with the advice and help of Fox Valley Technical Colleges’ school of design students. The result is stunning room-after-room of literal works of art that bring to life the best of Victorian Christmas traditions.

The evening events are “open-house” type of affairs with no set guided tour. Rather, holiday merry-makers are encouraged to wander from room to room to take in the sights at their own pace. Our holiday “welcomers” will be on-hand in each room, wearing their Victorian holiday finest, to welcome you in and explain Victorian holiday traditions or answer any questions that may arise. The evenings also feature live performances of traditional Christmas carols played on our 1875 Kranich and Bach square grand piano as well as other musical guests.
