View Location | Back to All EventsDuring the month of November, staff and volunteers will be decorating each of the eight principle rooms of the Manor House by theme and color, including natural flora and greenery inspired by the Foys’ Colonial through Victorian family history – with a few contemporary flourishes to echo the family’s four centuries in coastal North Carolina. With special care and attention to the adornment of each room, the main floor of the house will feature four magnificent 10 and 12 ft. live trees. The eight fireplace mantles, two banisters and three chandeliers will receive as much attention as the eight rooms of the home. This year, the upstairs bedrooms will each contain a specially themed tree, and the children’s room is always a particular favorite among young and old alike. Who can resist candy canes and stockings hung with care? Advanced reservations are required. Tours are limited to 15 guests. Tickets are $15.00 (plus taxes and fees) and includes refreshments of Eggnog, traditional Wassail, and a selection of Christmas cookies. Guided Candlelight Tours begin in the Manor House lower level on the half-hour at 5 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m., 7 p.m., 7:30 p.m., 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings and 5 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m. on Sunday evening.
