Victorian Holiday Celebration at Cincinnati's NPS Site

The William Howard Taft Home is the birthplace of our nation's 27th President and 10th Chief' Supreme Court Justice. Beginning on Friday, Nov. 27, the charming historic home where William Howard Taft was born and raised will be decorated beautifully to reflect the mid-Victorian period.
On Saturday Dec. 19, everyone is invited to join us from 11 a.m. to 3: 30 p.m. for our special Father Christmas event. During this time children and adults will be delighted to learn about the traditions of Christmas and will make holiday crafts to take home with them. Father Christmas will be here taking photos with everyone and all children will receive a free photograph.
Our Victorian Holiday Celebration will culminate on Sunday, Jan. 3, when the annual New Year's Open House will be hosted by The Friends of the William Howard Taft Birthplace. Everyone is invited to visit the Taft House from 1 to 4 p.m. to enjoy holiday refreshments with The Friends-just as guests would have during the 1850's.All events are entirely free and open to the public!
