Step into the holiday spirit with a guided tour of one of Dahlonega’s beautiful historic homes, elegantly decorated for Christmas. Built in 1881, carefully restored in 2016, and expanded with a charming addition in 2022, this home offers more than just festive décor, it’s a journey through time. During your guided tour you’ll not only admire the seasonal beauty, but also learn about the home’s rich history, its architecture, and the stories of the families who have lived here over the years. The tour will take about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes and will include the history of the home and its many inhabitants. Light refreshments will be served about half way through the tour. Guests will wear booties while touring this private home and will be asked to return the booties upon departing. Parent or legal guardian must accompany children under 18. The home has an elevator for those who prefer to not take the stairs. Limited parking is available at the home, but it is located in town, near plenty of city parking. No refunds… all proceeds benefit Jeremiah's Place.

A 1940’s Christmas Carol Radio Hour presented by the Holly Theater. Seamlessly combining drama and comedy, heartbreak and hope, A 1940’s Radio Christmas Carol will sing its way into your heart. If you enjoyed 1940’s Radio Hour, step back in time once again with the Feddington Players, and get into the holiday spirit with A 1940’s Radio Christmas Carol. About the show: The long-awaited sequel to the popular The 1940’s Radio Hour. It’s Christmas Eve, 1943, and the Feddington Players are now broadcasting from a hole-in-the-wall studio in Newark, NJ, and set to present their contemporary “take” on Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. Whether it’s the noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts, or the over-the-top theatrics of veteran actor, but radio novice, William St. Claire, this radio show is an entertaining excursion into the mayhem and madness of a live radio show. St. Claire’s escalating foibles and acting missteps propel the show to a simultaneously comedic and heart-wrenching dramatic climax: St. Claire has an on-air breakdown, and begins to connect his own life with that of the classic Dickens tale. In order to “save the show,” the company improvises an ending to Charles Dickens’ classic as a film noir mystery, featuring a hardboiled detective, a femme fatale, and an absurd rescue of Tiny Tim (and the Lindbergh baby) from the clutches of a Hitler-esque villain named Rudolf!
