Enjoy the Holidays with SOHO

Enjoy the warmth and beauty of the holiday season as the Whaley House celebrates the holidays with special self-guided tours of the house.

Many of our modern holiday traditions began during the mid 19th century. Come to the Thomas Whaley House Museum to learn about the history of American Christmas traditions. We invite you to take a respite from the demand of daily living and the hectic holiday season. Greeted by docents in period dress, you will experience a small picture of 19th century family life, and learn about holiday décor and traditions of the early Victorian era. This is a charming and unique way to experience the holiday season. For a sweet ending, guests can walk across the garden to the New Orleans Creole Café and enjoy assorted desserts and hot cocoa or cider. The house is open every day but Wednesdays from 10am to 4:30pm.
