Experience the magic of the season at your own pace during our Open House weekend. During the Holiday Traditions Weekend, visitors can enjoy self-guided tours of both the beautifully decorated Ellwood House and Ellwood-Nehring House, taking in dazzling holiday décor. Live holiday music fills both the homes, creating a festive atmosphere perfect for families, history lovers, and holiday travelers alike.

After exploring both homes, stop by the Visitor Center to enjoy sweet treats and hot chocolate, and free exhibits. Our Museum Shop will be stocking holiday ornaments, Victorian-inspired jewelry, greeting cards, and unique gifts, with all proceeds supporting the museum’s programs, preservation efforts, and exhibitions.
