Events Tours Tours are conducted by Docents on the second Tuesdays of each month of the Club year. A small admission fee is charged. This festive occasion marks the opening of the Holiday Season in our area and includes approximately thirty discriminating shoppes located in the main rooms of the Mansion and its ballroom. The variety of distinctive and unusual gifts attracts approximately 1500 shoppers annually. Lunches are available Friday and Saturday, and on Sunday a Christmas tea is served.
Musical entertainment is an added treat during both luncheon and tea.
Our Publicity Director is in charge of a direct mailing of approximately 3,000 promotional pieces, newspaper and television advertising, and public service announcements, which are sent to all media in the surrounding area. Promotional materials are mailed in October, but can be available earlier upon request. If you are selected by the committee, we will immediately mail you a contract and instructions for setting up. There are a few spaces available that can be shared for a smaller fee. The event is a fundraiser for the continuing preservation and restoration of the Mansion, a National Historic Landmark.
