It’s that time of year again, and The Historic Ellwood House in DeKalb is ready to celebrate the holidays with a fully decorated Mansion, and first floor of Ellcourt. We are so excited to welcome the community to our holiday events! The rooms in both homes are decorated by local individuals, groups, organizations, businesses, and Ellwood House staff.
