If your favorite holiday is Halloween, then you and Katharine Reynolds have something in common. She loved the spookiest day of the year and so will you when you hear the 1917 Aeolian Organ play the spine tingling sounds of Halloween past. The bewitching begins in the Historic House at 2 p.m. so make sure you are there!
The Reynolds family moved into Reynolda House just in time for Christmas in 1917. Glass ornaments and electric lights adorned the trees in the grand Reception Hall, while greenery added festive charm throughout the new home. More than a century later, you can celebrate the season where the Reynolds family once made their Christmas memories.
This special after-hours, family-friendly event brings that magic to life with the merry sounds of the 1917 Aeolian organ, cozy treats, hands-on holiday art making, games, and the warm glow of the Historic House at night. And watch out for the mistletoe hanging from the elegant chandelier in the Reception Hall!
