Experience the charm and nostalgia of the holiday season with a trip to central Illinois, where history and festive traditions await. Our adventure begins with a visit to the Peoria Historical Society, where knowledgeable guides will lead us through beautifully decorated historic homes. We will tour the Pettengill-Morron House featuring Second Empire architecture & the John C. Flanagan House featuring American Federalist design. Step back in time as you explore the elegant architecture and hear captivating stories that bring Peoria's rich heritage to life. We will experience the homes in full holiday decor. After immersing ourselves in the past, we'll enjoy a drive to the Barn III Dinner Theatre, a beloved local venue known for its warm hospitality and exceptional performances. Tonight, we’ll be treated to a heartwarming Christmas production that captures the spirit of the season with laughter, music and joyous storytelling. The curtain will rise for “A Christmas Tradition” a Barn original production. From cookie baking to caroling to light shows, and the trusty old fruitcake – holiday traditions are an important part of celebrating the magic of the season! The production will explore the silliest, most sacred and sentimental holiday traditions through song, dance and skit. Dinner is included and will be served before the show. Join us on this enchanting day where the past meets the present in a celebration of the heritage and the joy of the holiday season.

Please note: The historic home tours include stairs. Elevators are not available at the Pettengill-Morron House or John C. Flanagan Home to provide accessibility to the second floor. 

Includes: motorcoach transportation, historic home tour with Peoria Historical Society, dinner and performance of "A Christmas Tradition," at the Barn III, gratuities and snacks.
