Starting November 27th, 2009, we will be celebrating our fourth Christmas season since the purchase and revitalization of the plantation by the Phelps family. The manor house and grounds that were built by Jeff and Betsy Penn in the 1920's and which are still filled with the treasures that the Penn's travelled the world collecting, will once again be decorated elegantly for the season.
Lisa Phelps personally oversees the decorating each year. This year we will have at least a dozen themed trees including two grand fraser firs from the NC mountains; several hundred poinsettias, garland and other unique and beautiful decorations throughout the mansion. 
There will be many new things to see this year. Don't miss the chance to experience Christmas at Chinqua Penn on a Saturday evening, as the home is illuminated by candlelight and the grounds sparkle with the season. See See Christmas Photos. Live holiday music fills the home on Saturday evenings.
You may even find the perfect holiday gift in our gift shop, which offers work by local artists, antiques, plants, elegant Chinqua Penn gift and wine baskets and unique gifts.
Holiday and Candlelight tours are available:
Tuesday - Friday 10 am - 5 pm;
Saturday 10 am - 9 pm;
Sunday 1 pm – 5 pm.
2138 Wentworth Street, Reidsville NC 27320.

Shana Tucker Williams 12/12 & 12/19
~~Transcending genre distinctions, Shana settles comfortably within the realm of ChamberSoul -- a familiar pastiche of acoustic down-tempo pop culture with hints of soulful, classically-influenced, folksie otherstuff. Her music speaks for itself through well-crafted lyrics, subtle, lingering melodies, and clever arrangements that boast a unique, satisfying blend of humor and gravity.~~
Her repertoire will also include traditional Christmas carols.
