Holiday Open House Weekend | Sunday Event

The McFaddin-Ward House invites the community to delight in the splendor, sounds and spirit of the season at its annual admission-free Holiday Open House – for the first time offering a full weekend of festivities with opportunities to attend on Saturday, Dec. 7, and Sunday, Dec. 8, from 5-7 p.m.

Guests will enjoy festive refreshments, live music, carolers and Santa’s Craft Workshop with children’s activities at the museum’s Visitor Center (1906 Calder Avenue in Beaumont) before making their way across the street to see the historic house shining with holiday cheer and twinkling lights.

Inside the home, visitors will tour a visual wonderland of magnificent holiday decorations throughout the first floor while traditional Christmas music plays on the Music Room’s grand piano. Inspired by beloved songs of the season, this year’s holiday interpretation, “Candlelight & Carols: A Melodious Holiday with the McFaddins,” will allow guests to experience the elegance and extravagance of an early 20^th century holiday season with the McFaddin family through room designs centered around popular carols. Gorgeous gold, shining silver and sparkling crystal light up the dining areas while glamorous party clothes and other special items like the toy train will be on display. Before departing, guests will have the opportunity to take photos with Santa on the front porch to complete the magic memories of the evening.

The event is admission free and open to the public. For more information, call 409-832-2134.
