- **Event Description**: Experience the charm of a 19th-century horse-powered holiday at Wade House.

The sights, sounds, and smells of the historic Wade House Stagecoach Hotel will transport you back to the holidays of yesteryear, when the season held a stronger focus on family gatherings and time together. The halls of the picturesque inn will be decorated in the spirit of the holidays, showcasing how the Wade family and their many visitors would have celebrated a classic 19th-century Yankee and German-influenced Christmas.

Enjoy classic holiday treats, crafts, live music and a reading of “The Night Before Christmas” at the beautiful Stagecoach Inn, visit the Blacksmith Shop and watch as a talented artisan forges special holiday ornaments. Next, head to a charming white cottage beautifully decorated with fresh boughs and ribbons and, as an additional purchase, snap a festive holiday picture. Father Christmas, straight out of the Victorian era, will await guests in a 19th-century green sleigh with red runners ready to welcome families. The $7 photo experience can be purchased on-site.

After, festivities continue in the Wade House Visitor Center and Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum, where seasonal décor, a scavenger hunt, live music and children’s activities will add to the festive spirit.

About the Location
Wade House was constructed conveniently between the cities of Fond du Lac and Sheboygan, along a well-used road. This made the 27-room Greek Revival hotel a popular resting point for weary travelers. Three generations of the Wade family resided on the Wade House property, with the inn operating until around 1872. The Kohler family and the Kohler Foundation purchased Wade House in 1950 and began a top-to-bottom restoration. The site became property of the Wisconsin Historical Society and opened to the public in 1953. Here, visitors can journey back to the horse-powered world that existed before planes, cars, and trains. The site features the stagecoach hotel built and owned by Sylvanus and Betsey Wade, the first European settlers of Greenbush, as well as a blacksmith shop, sawmill, and the Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum, which houses Wisconsin’s largest collection of carriages and wagons. Visitors can enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides from the visitor center to the historic core and back again.
