Royal Governor William Tryon officially opened the Palace, North Carolina’s colonial capitol and governor’s mansion, on the fifth day of December, 17.70, and, according to early newspaper accounts, “his Excellency gave a very grand and noble Entertainment and Ball". “A very great number of gentlemen and ladles from different parts of the country” attended. In keeping with the spirit of that historic occasion, this season the Tryon Palace Council Chamber will be elegantly decorated for a dancing assembly. During the candlelight tours, musical entertainment will occur in that great room where the colonial laws were forged, yet the rugs would be rolled up to make way for a party. The formal dining room will be lushly decorated for a buffet, while the parlor, usually reserved for quiet tea drinking and conversation, will have gaming tables In evidence. Sideboards will groan with 18th century style foodstuffs and delicacies. Equaling Tryon Palace and the Tryon Palace Kitchen Wing in decorative grace will be the John Wright Stanly House (c. 1780), Stevenson House (c. 1805), Jones House (c. 1809), and Commission House (c. 1885). Elaborate wreaths of native greenery and citrus, pine and boxwood roping, and colorful arrangements of unexpected resources, such as oyster shells and wishbones, will greet visitors to these historic homes. As always, the rejoicing season promises new and authentic decorations that haven’t been shown before. A new feature of the Christmas season at Tryon Palace Complex is a series of hour long decorative workshops. Space is limited, so the workshops are offered on a first come, first served basis. Interested persons should sign up in advance. Admission is by purchase of the regular Christmas tour ticket. Grady Wheeler, Beaufort, and Clifton West, Greenville, are the skilled decorators who will teach some of the workshops. Horticulturist Herb Rea and Floral Designer Clara Allen, who fashion all of the decorations throughout the complex, will teach several. The decorative workshops will be held at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on December 10, 12, 17, and 19.
