2017 Joseph Manigault House Holiday Decorations

The Joseph Manigault House is ready for the holidays!  The Garden Club of Charleston has worked its magic, giving the house a festive air with the use of greenery, floral arrangements, and bells.  The arrangements were all created to reflect this year’s theme,”Bells and Blooms.”  The theme was inspired by the 1863 poem, Christmas Bells, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow which evokes bells as a beacon of hope for peace in the world.  Longfellow’s poem was later turned into the carol I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. Holiday decorations will be on display at The Joseph Manigault House from December 2 – 29.
