The Historic General Dodge House in Council Bluffs was a favorite holiday destination for many of our visitors last year, so I wanted to give everyone current information on this upcoming attraction. Read on.
"In the Spirit of the Season - A Very Victorian Christmas"
November 25th-December 31st
Historic Dodge House
605 3rd Street
Council Bluffs, IA 51503
(712) 322-2406
Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Closed Mondays, the month of January and Holidays
If you think the Dodge House is spectacular during the year, you have to see it during the Christmas season. The home is completely decorated from top to bottom in Victorian splendor with Christmas trees in every room. The opulent home is transformed into a magical place for our five week long holiday season. Don't miss your chance to step back to a time of simple pleasures and an era not often seen today. This year, for the first time, we will have non-profit groups decorating the trees and competing for first prize. Visitors will vote for their favorite tree by putting money into the boxes next to the trees. The winner gets 100% of their winnings, the rest get 80% of theirs, with the Dodge House keeping the other 20% to cover expenses. It's a win/win situation with everyone coming out a winner. Admission is charged: $7.00 for adults, $5.00 for seniors over 62, $3.00 for children 6-16. Children under 6 are free. Call 712-322-2406 for additional information.
