Festively decorated trees of all shapes and sizes transform the Lincoln-Tallman House into an elegant wonderland this holiday season. The Rock County Historical Society's annual Holiday Tree Show features a sparkling collection of trees creatively decorated by local businesses, nonprofits, individuals, and families. Visitors of all ages can wander through the beautifully adorned Italianate mansion adorned with more than 100 trees on the main and upstairs levels. The show includes a scavenger hunt and holiday activity booklets for extra fun for younger visitors.
Visitors may continue the fun by strolling to the Tallman Carriage House to enjoy a beverage and stop for a selfie with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
This year, the Holiday Tree Show is partnering with the spectacular Holiday Light Show at the Rotary Botanical Gardens. People who buy advance tickets to the Holiday Tree Show can enjoy a special discount for the Holiday Light Show. This local collaboration highlights the fact that visitors can enjoy two gorgeous holiday displays while supporting two local organizations.
The Holiday Tree Show is open Thursdays - Sundays in December, 3 PM - 7 PM on Thursdays and Fridays, and Noon - 4 PM on weekends. Closed Christmas day.
