The Christmas Carol: A Public Reading (6-9pm)

It was in Victorian England that the tradition of Christmas ghost stories reached its peak.   It was after all, a time of cold and darkness, before electricity lit up the dark corners of the rooms.

Into this environment came the greatest ghost story ever told — Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol.   Join us after dark in the candlelit halls and holiday bedecked rooms of the Hancock House as costumed reader relate the beloved story of Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the Spirits of Christmas…past, present and future.

Light Refreshments — Entry times vary (6 – 8 pm)
