Hear costumed characters tell beloved Christmas stories of Charles Dickens, one of the most popular writers of the Victorian era, in comfort of President Rutherford B. Hayes’ Victorian mansion. Dickens was one of Hayes’ favorite authors, and he lived during the same time period as Hayes.
Throughout these evening tours of the home, which will be lightly decorated for the holidays in a historically accurate manner, visitors will also hear some holiday history of the president, first lady and their family.
Tours each day are offered at 5, 5:30, 6, 6:30, 7, 7:30 and 8 p.m. Visitors will enjoy a warming cup of wassail, holiday drink popular during the Victorian era.
Before tours, guests can enjoy the “Hayes Train Special” model train display in the museum auditorium. Tickets for non-members are $18 for adults ages 19 and older, $10 for kids 6-18 and free for kids 5 and younger.
