Bring your lunch and join us for a look at the Christmas Past and Present at Ewing Manor during our Lunch & Learn on Thursday, December 12, from 12:10 to 1:00 p.m. with Toni Tucker, Director of Ewing Cultural Center.

Imagine Christmas at the Ewing family home known as Sunset Hill, (today Ewing Manor). Christmas was a joyful occasion with a 60-acre playground of snow for sledding, skiing and horseback riding. Toni Tucker will give us a peek into the manor to see how the Ewing’s celebrated the holidays and how the celebration continues today.

Tucker has been the Associate Director of University Advancement & Director of Ewing Cultural Center since 2012. She oversees the ISU Foundation facilities, the Alumni Center, Ewing Manor, the Theatre at Ewing Manor, and the Genevieve Green Gardens.
