Christmas Lights Tours at the Lotz House
December 1-29, 2012 |
Gray Line of Tennessee is proud to present the fifth annual, “Twinkling Tennessee Christmas,” one of Nashville’s most festive holiday traditions. In addition to touring some of Nashville and Franklin’s most beautiful and exquisitely decorated holiday fantasy home exteriors, guests will get a tour of the historic Lotz House in Franklin which is decorated in keeping with a typical Christmas in the mid 1860’s.
In making the announcement, Lotz House Executive Director J.T. Thompson said, “This will be our fifth year to participate in the ‘Twinkling Tennessee Christmas’ with Gray Line and we’re looking forward to making it a magical evening for the guests as they tour the Lotz House during the holidays.” The tour doubled in numbers last year as locals have begun to make this a family and friends tradition.
The tour takes approximately 2 ½ hours and is in a 25 passenger minibus.
Jennifer Powers, director of sales of Gray Line of Tennessee said, “This is one of our most popular tours this time of year because not only do tourists enjoy the tour, but it’s a great group activity for local companies, or just a fun outing for friends that enjoy getting together during the holidays. Our drivers spend hours finding the most beautifully decorated neighborhoods and homes so that we can provide a truly unique and festive experience each year. The addition of the Lotz House tour is a real bonus and the guests enjoy seeing how a family would have decorated for the holidays in the mid 1860’s.”
The tours run December 1 – 29 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. excluding December 24 and 25. Gray Line will provide a pickup at most Nashville hotels, or guests can park at the Gray Line office across from Opryland to board the tour.
