One of Toledo’s most beloved traditions, Holidays in the
Manor House at Wildwood Preserve Metropark, will continue through this weekend
for free tours and holiday activities. During the annual fun-for-all-ages celebration,
which began on December 1, approximately 40,000 adults and children are expected
to visit the 30,000 square foot home and participate in the festivities.

All set for New Year's Eve.

Come in for a tour. |
While touring the grand mansion, guests will be delighted by
32 displays lovingly created by local volunteers including the miniature model of what Treehouse Village will look like when construction is completed at Oak Openings Metropark.
For more than 40
years, volunteers have decorated the Manor House as a holiday gift to the
community.

In addition to tours of the home, visitors may stroll a
lighted path leading from the Manor House to a boardwalk trail, toast
marshmallows for s’mores along the way to or from the Manor House, bring their
own or rent skates over the weekend for a few spins around the ice-skating rink,
and experience the joy of the larger than ever model train exhibit held at Holidays
in the Hall.
