Howard County’s traditional “Christmas at the Seiberling” begins on Saturday, Nov. 30 with a lighting ceremony and opening night tours of the amazing Seiberling Mansion.
Santa will arrive at 6:00 p.m. that evening to help flip the switch and light up the mansion and grounds, then the doors will be opened for visitors.
Live music is scheduled, including the Kokomo Brass, Kokomo Men of Note, and the Harmony Magic women’s chorus.
Carriage rides through the Old Silk Stocking neighborhood are back this year. Reservations are needed and there are a limited number of rides available. Call the historical society at 765-452-4314 to schedule a romantic ride for two – or for the whole family.
Seiberling Mansion and Elliott House are located in the 1200 block of West Sycamore Street in Kokomo. The mansion is home to the Howard County Museum. Regular hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., with special evening hours on select Thursdays and Fridays during December. Admission is free for members. Non-member admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under, with all proceeds supporting the museum and mansion.
