The DeWitt County Museum's annual candlelight tours open today with a special opening day event and another special event in December.

Director Joey Long indicates the candlelight tours offer a chance to check out the Victorian Era mansion decorated in holiday splendor. 

This year's candlelight tour theme is 'A Holiday Ball' and Long is excited - calling it a cute concept.

The annual candlelight tours always open with a special Friday after Thanksgiving event and Long points out Santa is back again this year.

Additionally, on Friday, Dec. 18, there will be another special event as the Museum will offer carriage rides. Long encourages those interested to inquire and get their tickets soon, as this is a ticketed event and they anticipate those tickets going quickly.

Get information on tickets for the carriage rides as well as information on the annual candlelight tours by visiting chmoorehomestead.org or find the CH Moore Homestead on Facebook. 

Long reminds to make sure it is the new CH Moore Homestead Facebook page, as the former page was hacked.
