By TARA BARNWELLSPRINGFIELD

Otsego County residents are in for a treat this holiday season. Hyde Hall has announced that it is offering Victorian Candlelight Christmas Tours, on Saturday and Sunday, December 14 and 15, designed for families, history buffs and holiday enthusiasts. For those seeking a festive, unique, and meaningful way to celebrate the season, creating cherished memories with loved ones while learning about Hyde Hall’s fascinating history is a must.

“This Dickensian Christmas-style event stems from years of visitor interest in a holiday-themed experience at Hyde Hall,” said John Aborn, Hyde Hall’s programs manager. “We’ve previously hosted holiday bazaars and seasonal vendor fairs but, this year, we wanted to offer something more immersive and educational. The Victorian Candlelight Christmas Tours invite guests to step into the charm and traditions of the holidays within Hyde Hall’s historically authentic and beautifully preserved setting,” he said.
