Candlelight and Christmas Pageant

Cherish the sounds of holiday music, the scent of fresh-cut evergreens, the warmth of a glowing fire, the flicker of candlelight, and the flavor of old-fashioned treats as your family explores the historic 1843 Durant-Peterson House.

Also visit the 1872 Sholes School, a short stroll from the Durant-Peterson House, for a traditional children's Christmas Pageant.

Both museums are included in one low price!

Tickets are $5/Adult and $1/child. Entry times are at half-hour intervals at the Durant-Peterson House Museum to ease congestion. Your visit can extend longer than the half-hour interval you select. (NOTE: The least congested time at the House is during the Sholes School Pageants, times listed below.)

TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE (highly recommended) at PPFV.org/candlelight.
