(Buford, Ga., Nov. 17, 2016) – The Environmental and Heritage Center (EHC) invites you to escape the hustle and bustle of the modern holiday season and return to a more tranquil time when a brightly lit home full of family and neighbors made for a warm and festive winter’s night.

Become engulfed by the sights, smells and sounds of holidays past as the EHC offers candlelight tours of McDaniel Farm beginning Thursday, Dec. 1, 2016, and running throughout the month.

McDaniel Farm will be aglow with the warmth of candles and decorated with fresh greenery and period holiday ornaments as costumed guides share historic customs and traditions from the Victorian period and provide guests with a glimpse of everyday life on a family farm.  After the tour, guests will enjoy a delicious cup of hot chocolate or apple cider as well as have the opportunity to make a holiday craft.
