It’s officially the most wonderful time of year! And if you’re looking for the perfect place to get into the holiday spirit, look no further than Landrum’s Homestead and Village. Though opened year round, the Laurel attraction transforms into a holiday wonderland during the holidays. The Christmas fun, which includes twinkling lights, great food, and lots of entertainment, is becoming even more magical with each passing year. Take a look:
A great visit any time of the year, Landrum’s is a replica of a standard 1800s settlement and is made up of more than 70 buildings.
Each year, the Laurel attraction puts on the "most magical event of the holiday season," which is officially named Christmas at the Village. Now in its 34th year, the old-fashioned Christmas celebration is fun for the entire family.
During the event, the entire village is decked out in thousands of sparkling lights, which are sure to bring on the holiday cheer! There are also plenty of activities to keep you entertained.
Craft vendors, civil war re-enactments, farm animals, wagon rides, and live entertainment are just a few of the things you'll find at the seasonal celebration.
In the mood for something a bit sweeter? No problem; funnel cakes and other treats are also available. And with plenty of seating, you can comfortably munch on your goodies.
The Christmas Candlelight Tour, which includes many of the same festivities, is scheduled for December 9th and December 16th.
So, are you ready to visit this magical Christmas village? Admission to both events is $10 per person. For more information, call (601) 649-2546, email info@landrums.com, or visit Landrum’s website.
