Holidays In The Manor House Returns to Wildwood this Sunday

A Toledo tradition more than three decades in the making returns to Wildwood Preserve Sunday, December 2 through Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012.

Thirty-five differently decorated areas of the stately Manor House will sparkle with holiday spirit, courtesy of hundreds of volunteers. Displays will include themes such as A Polish Christmas dinner, Christmas Masquerade and the Manor House Railway.

Last year, more than 18,000 people toured the decorated mansion during the eight-day event.

Tours are free. Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

The Manor House was built in the 1930s as the family home of Robert and Page Stranahan. In the mid-1970s, Metroparks purchased the house and property with funding from a special tax levy and established Wildwood Preserve. The house has been decorated for the holidays ever since.

Wildwood Preserve is at 5100 W. Central Avenue, between Reynolds and Corey roads.
