Christmas is just around the corner. Now is the time to make plans to visit the Bingham-Waggoner Estate for our Spirit of Christmas Past tour. This year's
theme: "Once Upon a Time - A Fairy Tale Christmas" promises to be a spectacular holiday event you will not want to miss.
Come view the estate decked out in elegant holiday splendor. Prepare to be dazzled as you visit room after room lavishly decorated to opulent Christmas decor.
When you have completed your tour we invite you to relax in our third floor tea room with a cup of spiced tea and perhaps a cookie or two. And don't forget
your holiday shopping needs. Our Carriage House Gift Shop is just the place to find that one-of-a-kind gift for someone special.
This year we are pleased to once again host our Twilight Tour to be held on Sunday, December 7, 2008, from 4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. This magical "after hours"
tour is certain to put a little sparkle in your holiday season. In addition to our tea room and gift shop being open during the evening hours, we will feature
live music in our Carriage House with additional entertainment in the main house for this special time. Tickets prices for the "after hours" tour will be
the same as for the regular tour.
While you visit the Estate, be sure to purchase one of the Bingham-Waggoner collectable ornaments made yearly by our dedicated volunteers. We will also
have Bingham-Waggoner Cookbooks for sale on the third floor with the tea room goodies.
Come celebrate the beauty of this glorious Christmas season at the Bingham-Waggoner Estate. We will look forward seeing you soon!
