Make holiday memories and discover the Christmas traditions of the Hayes family at Hayes Home Holidays, a special evening tour of the Hayes Home offered two nights in December. Guests will be treated to festive stories about the Hayes family’s Christmas celebrations. Throughout the tour, guests can interact with costumed characters. Participants will enjoy a comforting cup of wassail, a hot spiced cider that was a popular holiday drink during the Victorian era. Tours are Friday, Dec. 20, and Saturday, Dec. 21. Tours begin at 5 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. with the final tour departing at 8 p.m. The home will be lightly decorated for the holidays in a historically accurate manner. Before and after tours, guests can enjoy the “Hayes Train Special” model train display in the museum auditorium. Ticket prices TBA.
