Ogle Victorian Mansions Decked To The Nines On This Holiday Home Tour In Texas

Arguably the best holiday home tour in Texas takes place in the small town of Jefferson each year. This annual event showcases the town's most opulent, Victorian-style manors decked out in their holiday finest. Marvel at the beautiful architecture and experience what Christmas was like in the olden days.

One of the top Christmas events in East Texas, the annual Jefferson Candlelight Tour of Homes takes place on the first two weekends of December each year.

This beloved, 40-year tradition attracts history and architecture buffs from all over the region, as well as folks who are simply looking to experience an old-fashioned Christmas.

You will get the rare opportunity to step inside some of Jefferson's oldest, most historic homes that are decked to the nines with elegant lights and decorations.

Both inside and out, these Victorian manors are simply breathtaking with all of their holiday adornments, and it seems as if the displays grow more elaborate each Christmas season.

From magnificent Christmas trees to garland draped over fireplaces in the most opulent fashion, these lovely homes are filled to the brim with décor worth marveling at.

Travel back to Christmases past and see how the town's pioneering families celebrated the most wonderful time of year. It is a can't-miss event that promises to captivate visitors of all ages.

After the home tour, make your way over to Lions Park to keep the magic flowing. There, you'll find a lighted Christmas tree trail with 115 trees to stroll through, and there's no cost to attend.

Perhaps we will even see some snow this year to add to the holiday enchantment!
