Yuletide Wassailing & Wonder

 —  —

Thoroughgood House, Virginia Beach VA, 1636 Parish Road, Virginia Beach, VA

In Partnership with the Friends of the Virginia Beach Historic Houses, come celebrate the season by stepping back in time to experience some favorite colonial Christmas traditions. Costumed guides will escort you by through the home of Argall II and Susannah Thoroughgood and share stories of the decorations, traditions, foods, and festivities of 18th century coastal Virginia. With live instrumental music provided in the house by members of the Itinerant Band, the interior will come alive with holiday charm. Hear how various members of the household would have experienced the holidays based on their role on the property and status in the community.
