Christmas at Wright Tavern
Help us celebrate an old fashioned Christmas at Wright Tavern on Sunday, December 11, 2011. The Tavern will don historically accurate holiday decorations, with the upstairs adorned in the simple charm of the early 19th century while the first floor displays the embellishment of the late 1800s Victorian era. In addition to faithfully recreated decorations of fresh boxwood, beeswax, etc., period specific holiday treats will be served. Guided tours will be available.
As a bonus this year, Mr. Richard Teague is graciously opening High Rock Farm to us. Built in 1807, Mr. Teague’s home is a fine example of the short-lived Federal style of architecture. This local landmark is known for its beauty, especially during the holiday season. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit this rarely exhibited private home. Light refreshments will be served and tours will be available.
