Food, fun, and festivities have brightened the dark days of winter throughout history. This month’s tour will celebrate the festive winter season as we discover the traditions and treats of the past.

About the Myers House:
The Moses Myers House is significant as the most intact, best documented, and surviving, known Jewish residence in the United States of any period before 1800. Moses Myers, an early American entrepreneur, built the house to accommodate his growing family. Initially situated in a very rural setting, the federal-style house set a new standard of sophistication for the rapidly expanding City of Norfolk. It was passed down through five generations of the Myers family who lived in the house from 1795–1931.

Free for Museum members, $5 for non-members
Registration is required. Space is limited.

The Myers House is located at 323 E Freemason St, Norfolk. Free street parking is available. Paid parking is available in the MacArthur Center garage.
