About this adventure

The Page-Walker Arts & History Center, a restored 1870s railroad hotel near downtown Cary, dresses up for a Victorian Christmas open house on the afternoon of Saturday, Dec 5, 2026, from 2 to 5 pm. Visitors wander through the historic building decked out in nineteenth-century holiday finery while carolers in Dickensian costume sing in the halls. Children make a Christmas craft to take home, and the whole family can snack on festive cookies and cider. It is a gentle, indoor stop that works well for younger children and grandparents, and it fits neatly into the same afternoon as the town's Tree Lighting Celebration: when the open house winds down, walk south along Academy Street to Downtown Cary Park for the 6 pm tree lighting. The Town of Cary pages do not print an admission charge for the open house, so check with the Page-Walker if you need to confirm before visiting.
