Dec. 11 Holiday Tour of Patterson House at Ardenwood Historic Farm

Saturday, December 11, 2010  3:00PM

Event: Holiday Tour of Patterson House at Ardenwood Historic Farm, an East Bay Regional Park in Fremont

 Come join us for some holiday cheer in Fremont at the Patterson House, Ardenwood Historic Farm.  Several of us are meeting there on Saturday, December 11 for the 3:00pm tour of the Patterson House, currently decked out in a festive holiday 1900’s Victorian style.  The 3:00 tour is the last of the day, with the park closing at 4:00, so don’t be late!

A departure from typical chapter tours, there is no chapter registration and you pay your own fees as you enter the park.  The cost is $2 to enter the park (general admission) plus $4 for the Patterson House tour.

Information about the tour can be found here (see Christmas Tours of Patterson House):

Arrive early enough to queue up at Patterson House by the beginning of the tour. It is recommended that you arrive at least an hour early to tour the grounds, possibly earlier to take a Monarch Butterfly Tour since the butterflies are back at Ardenwood this year.  (This is also described with the house tour description using the link above.)
