Kick Off The Holiday Season In Washington At Christmas At The Mansion
The countdown to Christmas is officially on. And whether you’ll be filling your calendar with holiday cheer or just trying to avoid the crowds until January, it’s fun to have a few holiday traditions to keep your spirits bright. If the idea of touring a Victorian mansion with its halls fully decked sounds appealing, we highly recommend checking out Christmas at the Mansion at Puyallup’s Meeker Mansion. It’s laid back, beautiful, and surprisingly relaxing.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
The Meekers traveled over the Oregon Trail to make a home here. They raised their six children here, and their daughter, Olive, got married at the mansion. Eliza was an instigator of the first Puyallup library, and Ezra was a prominent figure in the hop market, a merchant, a bank president, and a big promoter of the Northwest.
And during the holiday season, it's all decked out in holiday cheer.
Bring the entire family for a self-guided tour of this lovely space.
You're also welcome to rent it out for your own private event, with plenty of notice.
You'll feel like you're a special guest in someone's home... because you are.
And it's well worth the donation.
Just check the calendar on the website before you visit to make sure it isn't closed for a private event.
