The Hackley & Hume Historic Sites at Lakeshore Museum Center are proud to return with a beloved family tradition. From Saturday, November 28th, to December 30, guests have the chance to view the Historic Houses dressed for the holidays during the 2020 Holiday Tours.
“We’re so excited to continue the tradition this year,” said Program Manager Erin Schmitz. “Despite how different 2020 has been, we are thrilled to bring back holiday tours that families have come to know and love.”
This year, LMC had the help of Linda Potter & Cathy Norkus, the Women’s Division Chamber of Commerce, Janet Arndt & Barb Lloyd, Delta Kappa Gamma, the Shoreline Victorian Ladies Society, Minerva Dill Questers, the Greater Muskegon Women’s Club and Merilee & Friends who volunteered to decorate the site.
Experience the houses this holiday season on this 45-minute guided tour as you explore through the Hackley and Hume Houses all decorated for Christmas while learning the history of our many holiday traditions! In addition to touring the homes, Perry’s Pines will be selling trees in the courtyard throughout the season.
