Dana-Thomas House in Illinois Opens Seven Festive Friday Holiday Tours Starting November 20
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) announced on November 13 that the Dana-Thomas House State Historic Site in Springfield, the Illinois capital, will kick off its annual holiday season on Friday, November 20, with Festive Fridays evening tours featuring festive floral displays created by dozens of volunteers from the Springfield Civic Garden Club.
The seven-night series runs November 20 and 27, December 4, 11 and 18, and January 8 and 15. The site will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. The 30-minute tours begin at 4 p.m. and depart every 30 minutes, with the final tour beginning at 7 p.m., and feature holiday decorations, refreshments and seasonal music by Ben Bedford. Reservations through Eventbrite are strongly recommended.
Site superintendent Justin Blandford said the beauty and historic value of the Dana-Thomas House are deeply rooted in the capital city, and credited longtime partners including the Springfield Civic Garden Club, the Dana-Thomas House Foundation and Downtown Springfield Inc. After the tours, visitors can stop by the Sumac Shop to holiday shop, enjoy hot cocoa and make s'mores around a bonfire, weather permitting.
