A Journey Back In Time
The historic Zimmerman House was built in 1874 and was home to three generations of the Zimmerman Family. Their furnishings and personal articles remain in this two-story Victorian home, including children’s toys, games, Christmas postcards, and winter clothing. This annual evening tour will be held on Tuesday, December 9th and December 16th from 3pm-8pm.
Please reserve the time you’d like to visit the house, and give yourself approximately 45 minutes to explore both floors of this heritage home.
Parking is extremely limited, so please consider carpooling.
Admission is free, but the suggested donation for this special event is $5 per person for ages 18 and older.
