Last year, for the first time, we attended the candlelight tour of Liberty Hall. Liberty Hall is an 1800s Era mansion in Kenansville, not too far from where we live now. This year as I was looking into upcoming Christmas events, I realized the Liberty Hall tours were coming up this weekend. I talked with the girls and they definitely wanted to go again this year.
We begin in the visitors center where we got to hear the dulcimer and sing a few Christmas carols. This was really neat since they had a courting dulcimer which requires two people to play it together.
We then headed over to Liberty Hall for the Candlelight tour. Of course, there is no photography in the house, but it is really neat to see the house decorated with all the decorations including fruit, pinecone and greenery that would be used to decorate during that time period.
Here is Bekah knocking on the front door to let them know that our group was ready to come in for the tour.
Once we finished the tour of the house, there are several stations outside the house where they demonstrate different chores and skills of the 1800s. They even gave the children cloth dolls like they would have had during the 1800s.
We enjoyed the candlelight tour and all the decorations at Liberty Hall for Christmas. I think it made us ready to get all our Christmas decorations up soon too!
