Yuletide at Wheatland “Go-At-Your-Own-Pace” Tours

Yuletide at Wheatland “Go-At-Your-Own-Pace” Tours

The parlor decorated for Christmas with poinsettias on the mantle and a brightly lit Christmas tree.On Saturday, December 7, join us for “at-your-own-pace” tours of Yuletide at Wheatland! With guides stationed throughout rooms in the historic mansion, you can travel from space to space to learn about how Harriet Lane Johnston and James Buchanan “Buck” Henry, James Buchanan’s niece and nephew, celebrated Christmas in the late 1800s.

At-Your-Own-Pace tours are great for families and those who want to take their time viewing the mansion versus our regular ‘guided tour’ experience. Spend as little or as much (within operating hours!) as you’d like in President Buchanan’s festively decorated mansion!

Yuletide at Wheatland “Go-At-Your-Own-Pace” Tours are only available on Saturday, December 7. Entry times are every 30 minutes from 10am (first tour entry) until 3pm (last tour entry).
