December 11th, 6-9 PM; $10 per person. A unique opportunity to experience the 1856 original plantation house decorated for the holidays and illuminated by the glow of candles and soft lights, much as it may have looked when the Haile family still lived there. Docents in Victorian costume will greet you as you step over the threshold and back in time. Free refreshments! Self-guided tour. All proceeds benefit the HHH Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization, and will be earmarked for the construction of a Visitors’ Center.
