The Allandale Mansion is getting ready to host the community for its yearly Christmas Tours as sparkling lights and joyous celebrations quickly fill Kingsport’s streets. The event provides a preview of the mansion’s holiday-ready splendor and is scheduled for December 7 from 1 to 6 p.m. and December 8 from 1 to 5 p.m. Visitors can experience the excitement of the season weaved throughout the mansion’s décor with tickets that are reasonably priced at $5 for those 12 and up and free for younger ones.
A Christmas tree will be charmingly displayed in every part of the house this year thanks to the laborious efforts of volunteers who have skillfully organized each room around a primary festive theme. Although the tour is self-led, volunteers are happy to answer inquiries and tell stories about the rich past of Allandale. With tours ranging anything from thirty to an hour, visitors are urged to take their time.
In a press statement acquired by The City of Kingsport, Allandale Mansion Curator Rod Gemayel said, “We’re opening our doors once again, like we do every year, and inviting the public inside to enjoy our elegant and stunning decorations.” Santa Claus will make an appearance on December 8 and attendees will be treated to cookies and hot cider in addition to being serenaded by harpist Martha Painter on December 7.
For the first time, advance tickets can be quickly bought online using the Connect Kingsport app or the official Kingsport website, further increasing convenience. The goal of this project is to make sure that everyone can easily enjoy the celebrations by streamlining the visiting experience. It’s also worth noting that anyone wishing to host parties in this historically significant location can hire the Allandale Mansion, a landmark that has adorned the city since 1953, throughout the holiday season.
Since being given to the City of Kingsport in 1969, the mansion has hosted innumerable memories. It also features two barns, a picnic pavilion, charming man-made ponds, the Heron Dome, and an amphitheater. Potential guests can call 229-9422 directly for further information about the mansion, its history, or rental specifics.
