Belle Grove Plantation is decorated for the holidays December 5-30. In the historic Manor House is a 12-foot Christmas tree in the Parlor and area Garden Clubs decorated each room with a "Let Freedom Ring" theme.   

Friday, December 5, 1:00-2:30 p.m. will be a Candle Lighting Honoring the Individuals Enslaved at Belle Grove. This is a free program on the lower level of the Manor House. It will discuss the more than 270 men, women, and children enslaved at Belle Grove and what archival records and archaeology reveals about their lives. We invite you to come "meet" Abba, Frank, Truelove, Daniel and many others. As part of the program, attendees will “light” a LED votive candle, one for each person. The candles will be arranged in family groups in the “Unearthing Enslaved Lives” exhibit and will illuminate every day in December from 2-8 p.m.  

This event is now sold out. 

Finish the year with a candlelit tour of the Manor House at Christmas, a signature Belle Grove 1797 Whiskey cocktail, appetizers, and holiday music!
