Be inspired by traditional holiday decorations of fresh natural and floral arrangements adorning the exterior and interior of site buildings. Explore the plantation on a self-guided tour with staff members and volunteers available to answer questions. A costumed doctor from the mid-nineteenth century will also be on hand to discuss antebellum medicine in the plantation hospital.
Sip hot spiced tea, and sample black-eyed peas, hearth-cooked cornbread, and delicious desserts. Listen to period Christmas music and mingle with Saint Nicholas from 2:00 - 3:30p.m.
