This exclusive December experience takes the joy of the holiday season and layers it with the beauty of Michigan's architectural history. Each year, the Deck the Halls History Tour offers guests rare access to historic buildings in the Grand Rapids area, spaces originally built as grand private mansions, now dressed in traditional and vintage Christmas decorations. Sip warm wassail, enjoy Victorian treats, and step inside rooms that few people ever get to see, each stop offering a unique glimpse into the way Michigan's pioneers lived and celebrated.

Guided by Candice Smith, whose own family history in the area dates back to the 1840s, this tour is personal, warm, and wonderfully festive. It's the perfect outing for history lovers, architecture admirers, and anyone looking for a truly memorable way to celebrate the season. With limited capacity and a single annual date, spots fill quickly, this is one to book early and look forward to all year.
