DES MOINES – The public is invited to Christmas festivities at Terrace Hill, Iowa governor’s mansion in Des Moines, on Dec. 18.
Governor Kim Reynolds and First Gentleman Kevin Reynolds claim they are both looking forward to opening their home for Christmas at Terrace Hill this Sunday, December 18, 2022 from 1:00-4:00 pm.
Kids and the young-at-heart will find a wonderful holiday experience complete with free photos with Santa Claus and a reindeer, Christmas cookies, music provided by Central College carolers, and other fun activities like ornament-making and a scavenger hunt! The first and second floors of the Residence will be open for self-guided tours, but tour docents will be on hand to answer any questions about the historical home.
Later in the afternoon, the Governor will do a reading of a Terrace Hill Christmas story, No Company for Christmas, written and illustrated specifically for the event.
Reservations are $25 per individual or $50 per household and must be made in advance. To purchase tickets, call the governor’s office at 515-281-7205.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Terrace Hill Partnership, the non-profit organization that supports necessary conservation and restoration projects at Terrace Hill.
