Candlelight Tours
Saturday, December 6, 3 to 9pm
Sunday, December 7, 12 to 4pm
Admission includes a timed ticket for the Candlelight Tour of the Muhlenberg House plus entrance to the Dewees Tavern and Speaker’s House. We strongly recommend buying your tickets in advance, as tours will sell out and walk-in purchases are not guaranteed.
Savor the sights, sounds, and smells of a Pennsylvania German Christmas as you travel back in time at the Muhlenberg House for a candlelight tour, where interpreters in authentic period clothing will share stories from the Muhlenberg family in each room. Chat with Pastor Muhlenberg in his office and then step into the dining room, where a festive meal awaits. Don’t miss the Speaker’s House, where you can warm yourself by the fire and see what our hearth cook is preparing in the newly-restored kitchen wing. You will also get a sneak peek at the ongoing restoration work in the main house. At the Dewees Tavern, the galleries are decorated for Christmas with German Erzgebirge woodcarvings, a Moravian Christmas pyramid, Noah’s arks, and much more.
Parking is at St. Luke’s Church, 200 W. Main Street.
Online ticket sales close on Friday, December 5, at 4 pm. Walk-ins are welcome on the days of the Candlelight Tours but there may be a wait depending on advance ticket sales. You may still tour the Dewees Tavern and Speaker’s House while waiting for the Candlelight Tour.
