The Walker County Historical Society is inviting the community to step into a classic Northwest Georgia Christmas with the annual Marsh House Candlelight Tours, scheduled for December 13, 14, 20, and 21, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. each evening.

The tours take place at the Marsh House in LaFayette, located at 308 N. Main Street, where guests will be guided through the historic home by candlelight as the house glows with seasonal décor.

Organizers say visitors can expect the home to be decorated in the spirit of the 1880s, with hosts sharing period Christmas customs and traditions from the 19th century. The experience is designed to feel immersive and festive, complete with seasonal treats such as hot cider, ginger cookies, and roasted chestnuts.

The Marsh House is a well-known local landmark dating back to 1836, offering a window into early life in the region and the home’s place in local history, including Civil War occupation. Each tour blends history, architecture, and holiday tradition into a warm, family-friendly outing.

Reservations are typically required and are often made by messaging the Marsh House Facebook page. For additional details, call 706-764-2801.
