Seventh Annual Victorian Christmas at the Goodman
Dec 11 4PM
A must see this season is the Goodman Museum spruced up in beautiful
holiday splendor! Take a nostalgic trip back to Christmases of long
ago, and join us as we celebrate A Victorian Christmas open house at the
1859 Goodman-LeGrand House & Museum. Steep yourself in old
fashioned Christmas traditions, as you tour this 155 year-old Tyler
historic landmark delightfully decorated for the holidays. You will be
greeted by our Christmas Belles as you enter the mansion. Meet the
Goodman family and friends, wonderfully portrayed by costumed
re-enactors. See and hear the carolers in costume singing traditional
Christmas carols “A cappella” for your entertainment. Listen to the
violins and harp playing in the Gold Room formal parlor. Savor
complimentary vintage treats under the grand porches such as hot
wassail, gingerbread cookies, shortbread scones and holiday punch, after
touring this lovely old southern home and estate. Step back in time and
experience the joy of riding in a vintage horse-drawn carriage with
bells, which begins each trip down Broadway Avenue in front of the
Goodman home, and it’s provided by Farm Valley Carriages (small fee).
This
open house is part of the Downtown Tyler Museums Alliance Holiday
celebration, where other downtown museums join together to celebrate the
season at the same time. Join us, and let the atmosphere and spirit of
Christmases celebrated in days long ago, help make this Christmas season
come alive again in your heart!

met Jamey Whitley in an acting class on the campus of The University of
Texas at Tyler. Both were just trying to survive college while trying to
figure out life. They quickly became friends – both were interested in
theater but the program at UTT had recently disbanded. They started
“Patriot Act” a student organization devoted to raising theater
awareness on campus. This is where the art of improv comedy in their
lives began. They instantly found a love and a desire to start their own
troupe. Since then they have been performing all over East Texas and
the Metroplex.
started, has grown and now 5 years old both physically and mentally!!!
