November 20 – January 5 Holidays at The Smith-McDowell House Celebrate Christmas the old-fashioned way. The Smith-McDowell House Museum's time-line of authentically decorated period rooms showcase the evolution of Christmas celebrations and decorations.
This yearly exhibit, began in 1981, is a tradition for many regional families and tour groups. The mansion and local history museum will again be authentically decorated with fresh trees, garlands, ornaments and toys of the Victorian Period. Seven period rooms will be decked out with gold, silver and glassware from the Museum's permanent collections.
The Smith McDowell House, located on the campus of A-B Tech, was the former residence of mayors and
Vanderbuilt friends and is now a restored history museum. It is Asheville's oldest
surviving home, a National Register property and a living memorial to 19th
century life in Asheville. The Museum offers a variety of exhibits from civil
war and railroad history to Indian and mountain geography influences. There are
also educational programs both planned and on an event basis.
The Smith-McDowell House is located at 283 Victoria Road in Asheville, NC
