Wesley House at Eden Gardens State Park dressed up for the holidays

November 16, 2023

  • Candelight tour scheduled for Dec. 16

The stately Wesley House at Eden Gardens State Park, and the Christmas celebration that has become a welcome herald of the holiday season will kick off again on November 15, 2023.

The Wesley House will be decorated and offering guided tours Thursday through Monday, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on an hourly basis.

The House will remain decorated until January 9, 2024. All visitors are invited to vote on which room in the house is the favorite. Of course, the month would be incomplete without the evening of Luminaries, scheduled this year for December 16, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00p.m., with a rain date for the same time period for December 16.

The Park area will be illuminated with candles, and the House will be open and the decorated trees will be lit for the event. The Friends of Eden will provide light refreshments in the pavilion, and all are invited to attend. A shuttle will be offered for transportation into the park on that evening, and there is no entrance fee.
