Nashville Zoo
Nashville, TN – Join Nashville Zoo for a traditional Yuletide Christmas tour at The Grassmere Historic Home.
These tours will be held the first three weekends in December (December 8th, 9th, 15th & 16th) and are included with Zoo admission.
The home is decked for the holiday season with greenery, ribbon and vintage decorations that had been collected over the years by Margaret and Elise Croft, the former tenants of the Grassmere property whose family owned the land and home for five generations.
The tour not only highlights these items, but also explains how some Christmas traditions started during that time period and are still honored today.
Along with Yuletide tours, guests can enjoy live entertainment on the porch and front lawn of The Grassmere Historic Home:
Saturday, Dec. 8th: Caroling by the American Caroling Company, 11:00am- 2:00pm.
Tours will start at 10:00am daily and run on the half hour, with the last tour starting at 3:00pm. Tours of the home are included with Zoo admission. To take the tour, guests are asked to meet on the front porch of the historic home where their guide will meet them. Guests can learn more about Yuletide tours on the Zoo’s website.
