Description

The Fort Bend Museum docents cordially invite you to attend our annual Candlelight Tour of the 1883 Moore House and the 1850s Long-Smith Cottage in the historic district of Richmond, Texas. This year’s theme for the Moore house is “A Golden Age Christmas, in Texas”. It will be lovingly and lavishly decorated to reflect the early 1900s in Texas when many Texans made their fortunes in the oil, gas, and timber industries. Candlelight tours of both homes will be on December 3, 4, 9, and 10. Friday tours are from 6:00 – 8:00 pm and Saturday tours are from 5:00 – 8:00 pm. Complimentary cookies and wassail are served at the end of the tour and our docents will offer handcrafted seasonal items for sale. On Friday, December 3, Richmond will be hosting its annual Community Christmas Walk beginning at 6:00 pm. This event features the downtown Christmas tree lighting, choirs in the historic Courthouse, and numerous other activities in a multi-block area around the Moore House. If you cannot join us on the Candlelight Tour nights, you can schedule a weekday daytime tour for groups of 6 to 12 people. We are also offering a few VIP tours. The VIP tour will include several decorated rooms upstairs which will include family items from the museum’s collection not normally displayed in the house. Prices for the tours are: • Candlelight tours: $5.00 • Weekday Group tours: $10.00 per person • VIP tours: $25.00 per person (includes special refreshments) To purchase tickets, go to fortbendmuseum.org/candlelight-tours. Tickets can also be purchased at the door on the Candlelight Tour nights. We hope you can join us. Letha Wood and Dottie Allen 2022 Candlelight Tour Co-chairs
