Experience White Haven in the evening during the holidays. Lights will illuminate the grounds and historic house. Traditional and contemporary carols will fill the air as you arrive. Inside, the decorated rooms will glow with candlelight*. In the museum, you’ll hear period holiday music performed by guitarist Patrick Rafferty. In the Visitor Center classroom you can enjoy 19 th century treats served by Suzanne Corbett, food historian, and learn about 19 th century etiquette and holiday culinary customs. End the evening with a festive concert by Wolf Creek Bluegrass in the park’s theater at 7:00 pm. No reservations are required. All activities are free. Visitors are welcome to attend the open house, concert, or both! *For safety reasons, our candles will be battery operated. Note: Grant’s Farm will be open that evening for their walk-through holiday light. Our parking lot is open just for our visitors and is free.
