Not opening
The Iles House will still be open this evening Friday Dec 12 from 4:30 - 7:00 pm. Because of the predicted weather and a spate of ailing volunteers, the Iles House must curtail its annual Candle Light Tour Schedule. We will still be open tomorrow evening from 4:30 - 7:00 p.m. and Saturday from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m., but will NOT be open after then. We regret this unfortunate turn of events.
We will be open for tours on Saturday, December 6 from 1:00 until 4:00 p.m. only. There will be no candlelight tours that day. Tours with three days of the House trimmed for Christmas in 19th century style and open to the public . Light refreshments will be served on the Museum level for those who care to partake. As usual, donations are much appreciated but not required. No reservations are needed; just drop by during the open hours.
