Things to do in Wilmington NC -- Poplar Grove Plantation Christmas Open House

Looking for something to do this weekend in Wilmington NC? How about an Old-Fashioned Plantation Christmas Celebration?

Poplar Grove Plantation, in Scott's Hill, will be hosting their Annual Christmas Open House December 4, 2011 from 12p ~ 5p. Admission is FREE!

First opened as a museum in 1980, Poplar Grove Plantation is one of the oldest existing peanut plantations in North Carolina. The current manor home was built in 1849 by Joseph M. Foy and remained a family home until the mid 1970's. Picture of homemade ornament

Come see the manor home decorated as it would have been in the 1850's, tour the grounds which include; blacksmith shop, weaver, basket maker, tenant house, ponies, ducks, goats and more! Enjoy a visit and Christmas story with Santa and Mrs. Claus, take a hay ride ($5 per person) and shop local at the Arts and Craft show.

Poplar Grove Plantation is just minutes north of Wilmington NC, at 10200 US Highway 17N.

Tish, this sounds like something I would like to see. I've never been to Wilmington. Maybe this event will spur me on to come visit your area.

Hey Tish,

I am "Off Topic" and disrupting your Blog -

Have you seen this Video?

Turn Down the Volume, because these guys use bad language when they see the Shark.

Liz & Bill ~ I'm overwhelmed by how many things there are to do this season in the Wilmington NC area!

Karen ~ Oh, goody! Lets "plan" on being spontaneous soon!

Joni ~ Thanks for the heads up!

Fred ~ Disrupt away! Is this cool or what? My grandson loves to fish right off of Wrightsville Beach and he is going to be green with envy about missing this!
