The Belmont County Victorian Mansion is transformed for Christmas with each room decorated by local Barnesville area businesses, organizations, and individuals. This year’s theme is Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The Christmas season has begun, and the Belmont County Historical Society invites you to tour their Victorian home. The tours are on weekends now through December 22nd. On Fridays, tour hours are 5-8 p.m. On Saturdays and Sundays, they are 1-4 p.m. The admission fee is $8 for adults and $2 for students ages 6-18. Senior citizens, veterans, and groups 10+ enjoy $1 off admission. Private tours for groups of ten or more are available by reservation through January 12th. 

In addition to tours, the Belmont County Victorian Mansion will host several Christmas Teas. Spots are still available for the December 6th and 7th teas starting at 11:30 a.m. Cost is $25 per person. If you would like to make a reservation, please call 740-695-0766. 

Finally, Barnesville Elementary’s first through fourth graders are creating ornaments and hanging them on trees assigned to each grade level located on the Victorian Mansion’s front porch. Beginning November 20th through December 6th, families, friends, and community members are encouraged to come to the museum, enjoy the creativity of our young community members, and vote for your favorite tree.
