Compass Inn Museum by Candlelight: Celebrating the Yuletide

The holiday season brings about memories of time spent with family, traditions passed down through generations, and the nostalgia of the season. The Compass Inn Museum wants to be a part of your holiday traditions.

Visit our historic Inn to take in the beautifully decorated wreaths, scents of fresh pine boughs floating through the air, and the magic of Yuletide gracing each room. By the light of candles and fireside warmth, our docents pass on the holiday traditions celebrated in the past.

End your journey in our 1862 room with a cup of warm apple cider and a compelling rendition of A Visit from Saint Nicholas by Clement C. Moore.

When: November 30 and 31 & December 13 and 14 from 4-8 PM.

Cost: $15 for Adults, $13 for Adults 62+, $10 for Youth (6-17), and Free- Children 5 & under, Active Military, and LVHS Members
