Victorian House holiday events in Millersburg
The Victorian House Museum in Millersburg will be transformed with this year’s theme, “A Child’s Storybook Christmas.”
Each room will be themed to a children’s holiday book with elements from the book used in the decorations. Each set of designers will add their creative abilities to each room. Volunteer staff, with some external help, will spend hours coming up with a theme.
The season will kick off with a free open house on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 4-8 p.m. There also will be a visit from Santa, and the third-floor ballroom will take on elements of “The Nutcracker.” Holmes Center for the Arts will provide various dancers during the evening, performing some of the classic songs from the book.
After touring the house, attendees can relax in the Castle Club for cookies and beverages. The open house is free, but visitors can bring a children’s book or two, new or slightly used, to donate to Share-A-Christmas.
The Victorian House will be open daily the following hours for general holiday tours: Sunday through Thursday from 1-4 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 1-8 p.m. There are 28 rooms and four floors decorated from top to bottom, inside and out. Each room has designated volunteers who work to transform the house into a holiday spectacular. General admission is $10 for adults, $9 for seniors age 60 and older, and free for children under 12.
