We are closing in on our last event of 2019 at the Bissell House on December 7th. We hope you can join us at the first of what we hope to be a yearly event highlighting the spookier side of 19th century Christmas traditions. This is a great chance to see the Bissell House which is usually only open by appointment. Admission is only $4 and includes refreshments!
Visitors to the General Daniel Bissell House will enjoy a unique holiday experience. Costumed interpreters will be on hand to tell Christmas ghost stories and play Victorian parlor games with guests. A gentleman will be on hand to provide brief tours of this grand old 19th century mansion.
This event is part of A Spirited Holiday Past along with 27 other historic sites, museums, and privately-owned homes joined together to present a grand holiday tour. For this one-day event, each venue will be decorated in a festive flair and serving refreshments. Many sites will also have special entertainment, whether it be a costumed skit, music, or seasonal activity. Make sure to check out the other sites that are part of this event including Bellefontaine Cemetery and The Campbell House!
This month and next will be busy with planning and booking new events for 2020 including a full schedule of suffrage themed events celebrating the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment and of course more death and mourning themed events.
