General announcementDue to the ongoing restoration and the temporary closure of the mansion, we won't be holding our annual events this year. However, we are working on hosting smaller events at the Visitor Center and collaborating with local historical societies, like the Stansbury House. We'll share the details with you as soon as everything is finalized.
We are looking forward to the mansion reopening and hope to bring back our beloved events in spring 2025 once the restoration is complete! |
Grab a plate of Christmas cookies and a cup of eggnog or sparkling cider, and sit down at your computer, smart phone, tablet, or smart TV, for our virtual presentation of Christmas with the Bidwells.
