Each year, local non-profit groups and volunteers deck the halls with elegant Christmas décor appropriate to the Barker's time period. This means you will not experience the glittery and plastic decorations of today; the decorations will be more natural and muted in appearance. Special events including tours, musical performances, kids' crafts, and sweet treats are part of the season.If you wish to volunteer for the holiday season, learn more here.
