Christmas at the Mansions Tour
Saturday, December 14 , 2:00 pm – 7:00 pm CST
Ewing Manor and the David Davis Mansion will once again be part of the popular Christmas at the Mansions Tour.
This year, in addition to displaying much-loved Gilded Age Christmas decorations which have become community favorites, the David Davis Mansion will also feature three new must-see decorative elements: a gleaming all-gold tree which highlights the opulence of the era, an all-floral tree which is inspired by the rich botanical variety and lush color of Sara Davis’ historic 1872 heirloom garden, and an exhibit which focuses on a Christmas visit made by Sarah’s older sister Lucy Rockwell.
From September 1924–October 1925 the Ewing family took a world tour covering 22 countries. In celebration of the 100th anniversary, each room will be decorated to represent a country the Ewings visited. The represented countries will feature photos the Ewings took, artifacts that were purchased, and the holiday traditions.
