Fall Candlelight Tours

Elijah and Malinda Iles welcomed about 400 guests into their home for candlelight tours on the evenings of Oct 26 & 27.

Visitors were guided throughout the home, learning about its architecture and construction, its many famous guests, its various owners as well as its two relocations and the efforts made over the years for its preservation.

Visitors ascend the stairway to the upper story to tour the bedrooms and see more period furniture and antiques from the Barringer Collection and other donors.

Logan McMinn took great photos of the event on Friday evening. Thanks, Logan. Larry Stephens prepared this blog entry while Will is on the road. Thanks Larry and we look forward to more of your blog entries in the future.

It was a fun event. Lots of young children and families.
