Thanksgiving has passed which means it's time for holiday celebrations in central Illinois.

Joey Long, Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum, explains that candlelight tours are a long-standing tradition at the homestead, and this year's theme is Christmas Fantasy. 

The tours take place on Friday evenings and are self-guided. You will make your way through the dimly lit rooms and experience the decorations, music, and, most importantly, history the museum has to offer. 

Long notes Santa will be at the carriage barn on the 29th only. She uses this event to usher in the holiday season and as a bonus, it creates a great photo op for families. 

Admission for the tours is $10 for adults, $5 for ages 6 to 8, and free for children 5 or under. Find more information on the candlelight tours at chmoorehomestead.org or find them on Facebook.
