What a great holiday season at Poplar Hill Mansion! Our Yuletide Open House was held in conjunction with the Newtown Neighborhood Holiday House Tour. The Mansion welcomed over 300 guests the first Sunday in December who were treated to seeing the Mansion with arrangements by the Four Seasons Garden Club on the first floor and fully decorated on the second floor with a Christmas village, Christmas tree with over 1,500 ornaments, and Nutcrackers. Guests also got to enjoy home-baked cookies and punch as they learned more about the Mansion and some fot he holiday traditions of the Huston Family of the early 1800s. Our annual favorite, Tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus was also just as busy. Children of all ages got to visit with the big guy himself and tell him exactly what they wanted for Christmas (we have a feeling a lot of Squishmallows were under trees this year). Santa always loves his time at Poplar Hill and says we have the best kids come to visit!
