Day 2: After a buffet breakfast we depart for the Mansion Museum where extravagance abounds as you walk through the elegantly decorated rooms. Originally the home of Colonel Oglebay and his family, the mansion is furnished with many period antiques that help to create an atmosphere that takes you back in time. Next we will visit the Glass Museum with displays of over 3,000 examples of West Virginia glass made from 1829-1939. We visit the Winter Fantasy Events at the Good Zoo next. Here we will enjoy a laser show that is choreographed to Christmas music, see the state’s largest O-gauge model train display, and participate in some hands-on activities at the Discovery Lab. In the afternoon we return to the lodge where you will have time to sit, relax and enjoy the amenities of this wonderful resort. Finally, tonight we are treated to a delicious dinner and a cabaret show at the lodge. The cabaret show, a musical tribute to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, recalls the music, laughter and songs which are forever linked to these legendary men of American song and comedy.

Day 3: After a buffet breakfast we depart for The Eckhart House. Upon our arrival we will meet our guide, an Eckhart House historian, who will entertain and enlighten us about the rich history of this unique American property and life during the Victorian era. One of the nation’s most impressive Victorian structures, the Eckhart House boasts most of its original opulent features, including hand painted floral prints on the walls and ceilings, classic Queen Anne windows and intricate fretwork. After our tour we depart for home taking with us many pleasant memories of a wonderful yuletide celebration get-away filled with holiday cheer, music and the grandeur and magic that was the Victorian era! Happy Holidays!
