The Heritage House Museum of Orange County invites the community to kick off the holiday season with a day of festive celebrations on Sunday, December 8, 2024. Families, friends, and pets are welcome to take part in two exciting events: the annual Santa Paws photo session and the beloved Candlelight Tours of the Heritage House Museum.
Santa Paws – 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Bring your pets and family members to the Heritage House Museum’s back deck from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM for a special photo opportunity with Santa himself. Pet photographer Lacey Hale of 4 Paws Photography will be on-site, capturing memorable moments for a suggested donation of $10 per photo. This heartwarming event allows everyone—both two-legged and four-legged family members—to get in on the holiday spirit while supporting a local landmark.
Candlelight Tours – 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM As evening falls, the festivities continue inside the beautifully decorated Heritage House Museum. From 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, visitors can step back in time and experience the magic of the holidays during the museum’s Candlelight Tours. Guided by the soft glow of candlelight, guests can explore the historic home adorned with festive decorations, learn about local traditions, and meet Santa along the way.
“The Heritage House Museum is thrilled to welcome the community for a full day of holiday cheer,” said a museum spokesperson. “Whether you’re visiting for photos with Santa or exploring our candlelit tours, we’re excited to share the magic of the season with all our guests.”
