Tips & Advice

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes, since the historic site tour is an outdoor walking tour with stairs and inclines.
  • Dress for the November weather, because much of the tour takes place outdoors as you move through the historic site.
  • Bring the whole family, since the tour is designed for all ages and mixes guided history with a storyteller's Christmas tales.
  • If you'd like an evening visit too, come back in December for Candlelight Christmas – Night-time, with candlelit tours and Father Christmas in the Christmas village.
  • If stairs and inclines are a problem, the self-guided indoor Massengill Museum Gallery is fully ADA compliant, though it doesn't go inside the historic buildings.
