The former Millersburg Military Institute--reclaimed by Community Ventures and renamed Mustard Seed Hill--has again become central Kentucky's must-visit holiday destination. Located on the northern edge of Bourbon County just six minutes outside of Paris and 30 minutes from Lexington, the campus features two new light displays which join the eight original illuminated light displays spanning the three-acre grounds.
In addition to the lights which offer unlimited opportunities for creating phenomenal family photos--and memories--visitors cana view the Gingerbread House exhibit as well as complete their shopping at the 4,000 sq. ft. indoor Artisan's Market featuring wares crafted by more than 60 local and regional artists, makers and craftspeople. While the campus will be open nightly for visitors to view the lights through Jan. 1, both the Market and Gingerbread Exhibit are open Wednesday through Saturday nights from 5 to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 3 to 9 p.m. Dec. 23.
The Christmas Cafe and Holiday Tent offers a warm place to grab a bite to eat, while the new fire pit area provides a place to connect with friends and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate. The Cafe will also be open Wednesday through Sunday.
"Christmas at Mustard Seed Hill highlights all of the renovations that have taken place at the old Millersburg Military Institute, as well as showcasing the town," noted Shawn Burns, president of operations. "Not to mention providing the perfect place to make holiday memories with family and friends."
