Marshall Plan Tree Walk Lighting Ceremony

Don’t miss our signature holiday event on Saturday, December 7! The event combines the magic of the holidays with recognition of the Marshall Plan countries. Seventeen trees, one for each participating country, will be decorated along the brick walk by the house for all to enjoy until the end of the year.

This year, we are welcoming the Old Dominion Chorus who is ready to regale us with a selection of holiday favorites. The Old Dominion Chorus is Loudoun County's a cappella chorus for men and a chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society.

DETAILS

The event is free and perfect for kids and families. Please RSVP so we know how much hot chocolate to prepare.

About the ERP

The European Recovery Program (ERP) was a U.S. program that supplied nearly $13 billion to help finance rebuilding efforts in Europe in the wake of World War II. This program became known as the Marshall Plan because of George Marshall’s role in recognizing its importance and persuading Congress and the American people of its importance. Nearly 75 years later, the 17 nations that participated in the program continue to enjoy the peace and prosperity it helped secure for them.
