Mooresville Christmas 2011
Every December, Historic Mooresville puts on its holiday finery to celebrate the season. Bright fresh greenery and red bows decorate our street signs, della robbia wreaths with colorful fresh fruit and natural materials hang on the doors of our historic public buildings, and the outsides of our homes are decorated in the tradition of Christmas past.
As part of your holiday plans, the residents of Mooresville invite you to include a visit to our town for one or both of the following events during the second weekend in December. Tickets are limited for the Progressive Dinner on Saturday, so call or e-mail for reservations early. The self-guided walking tour on Sunday is free of charge, but donations are appreciated. Only the historic public buildings will be open on Sunday. All funds raised through these events will support the preservation of our historic Post Office, Stagecoach Tavern, and the Brick Church.
