We’re snow excited for Christmas by Candlelight! ❄️

Tomorrow, Friday, December 5, the Eudora Welty House & Garden will close at 2 p.m., and our team will set up at the Old Capitol Museum starting at 4 p.m.

This year, we’re bringing winter weather indoors with new snowy crafts for all ages — plus cookies by Just Vanilla and milk donated by Prairie Farms. And of course, we’ll have typewriters ready for your letters to Santa. 🎄✍️🍪🥛

We can’t wait to see you there!
