Admission to tour the house and view the unique Norman Truss construction in the attic is included with ticket purchase.

Shortly before the tour, Foundation members gather at the house to create decorations out of pine, boxwood cuttings, magnolia and other natural materials. From there, guests will make their way to the other stops–five private residences and one bed and breakfast–all festively decorated for the season.
