The Garth Woodside Mansion in Hanibal Missouri offers guests during the holiday season the perfect Victorian holiday.
Full of historical anecdotes, Mark Twain memorabilia and knowledge of Victorian practices, innkeepers Julie and John, adhere to many Victorian holiday customs in decorating the mansion.
There are several trees throughout the Garth Mansion decorated just a few days before Thanksgiving. Ask about helping to decorate and the Rolsens will treat you to a free night stay when you stay two nights.
Hannibal has festivities as well, with two different trails of lights, a living windows display downtown, late night hours in the historic district and even a Christmas parade on December 5th. Following that same afternoon, will be a living windows display. This is always a highly popular event. With each downtown merchant having literally live displays: grandmothers reading to their children, elves making toys for Santa, and families making goodies in the storefront windows. The Trail of Lights is located near the Mark Twain Cave. The Trail of Lights includes almost 40 displays. The cost is $5 per car. It increases every year with the amount of displays and proceeds go to the USO! The displays will be featured from November 23rd through December 26th.
