One of DeKalb’s most beloved holiday traditions has returned for the holiday season. Holiday tours of the beautifully decorated Ellwood mansion are available Wednesdays through Sundays at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. through Dec. 15.
This is the 58th year of this local holiday tradition.
New this year is a 2 p.m. tour of the Ellwood-Nehring house, which is also decorated in festive seasonal decor.
Decorations include the grand Christmas tree in the living room to third-floor decorations from local children. Additional decorations include sparkling trees and garland throughout the house, courtesy of community partners and local decorators.
Holiday Traditions Weekend is Dec. 6-7, where guests can enjoy self-guided tours, live holiday music and a dessert bar. Museum members can get a sneak peek with a preview night Dec. 5.
The Ellwood House Museum is located at 420 Linden Place in DeKalb. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 815-756-4609 or visit ellwoodhouse.org.
