Ewing Manor and the David Davis Mansion will once again be part of the popular Christmas at the Mansions tour on Saturday, December 10.

The David Davis Mansion will feature the celebration of Christmas during America’s Gilded Age (1870-1900) with some of the early holiday traditions created before the Civil War. A special highlight this year will feature Sallie Davis’ wedding, which was held at the Mansion in 1875, three days before Christmas.
Ewing Manor will highlight Hazle Buck Ewing’s love of nature. Holiday decorations will bring the outdoors indoors featuring natural elements, such as pinecones, birch accents, cranberries, and fresh floral arrangements.
