## About

Historic Rock Castle opens its 1784 stone house for a free holiday evening: the rooms are decked out for Christmas and visitors can tour the house, meet Santa Claus for photos and have refreshments, with a holiday gift shop on site. The museum presents it as a thank-you to the Sumner County community and no ticket is necessary, so families can drop in any time between 3 and 6 pm. Rock Castle is a short drive from downtown Hendersonville.
