I enjoyed seeing the Christmas decorations at Hayes. I was fortunate to be able to attend the DAR weekend (mid October) celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Edenton Resolves. We got a tour of the mansion as well as "dinner on the grounds (actually in a heated tent)." It was delightful to be able to see the interior and learn about the ongoing restoration of the property. Edenton is such a charming place to visit and so full of history and beautiful homes. I discovered it a couple of years ago and have enjoyed my two visits so much that I'm looking forward to a third.
Hopefully you also visited the Cupola House and learned of the impending return of the original ground floor woodwork. That is a story for another day.
i have actually covered the story of the return of the woodwork here on this site, Eileen. It is a fascinating and heartwarming story! Did you know the woodwork is now actually back home in Edenton? It arrived safely last fall. A wonderful happy ending.
