As the year's longest nights approach, join with us to explore indoor cold weather traditions from the 1800s - decorations that remind us that summer will return, singing to warm the heart and a live candle-lit reading of a unique genre of literature - the Victorian Christmas ghost story. Explore the fears of approaching winter's darkness and the hope of the light to follow. Staff will share these stories after visitors have a short tour of the cozy Colborne Lodge.
