It’s Happening in the South…Historic Holiday Candlelight Tour in Augusta, Ga.
Warm lights, crisp greenery and festive decorations are one of the true combinations of the holidays. It’s during this time that historic homes across the South invite the public to enjoy them in their holiday finery.
Historic Augusta (Ga.) Inc., is presenting its Historic Holiday Candlelight Tour on December 5 – 6. Not only are the five home museums decked out in decorations, but also include period costumed interpreters, refreshments and music.

Also included is the Redcliffe Plantation State Historic Site on Beech Island, S.C., which is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
