There’s something so special about celebrating a bride-to-be surrounded by the people she loves. 🤍

From beautiful tables and fresh flowers to laughter, gifts, and sweet moments with family and friends, the McDaniel-Tichenor House makes a timeless setting for a bridal shower.

✨ An Evening to Remember — Made Possible by You ✨

We simply could not do this work without the generosity of our community.

Tichenor Tuesday✨

Look What We Discovered at the McDaniel-Tichenor House!
And what perfect timing! With our Governor’s Gala: An Evening of Gilded Age Elegance approaching this Thursday, we recently came across this wonderful piece in the McDaniel-Tichenor House collection—The Gilded Age: A Tale of To-Day by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner.

Originally published in 1873, the novel is the work that helped give the “Gilded Age” its name, making this discovery especially fitting as we prepare to celebrate an evening inspired by this fascinating period in American history.

This copy is Volume II of a two-volume edition, published by Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York and London. But what makes it particularly intriguing is the handwritten inscription inside:
“This is the authorized Uniform Edition of all my books. Mark Twain”
The inscription appears to bear Twain’s signature, although it has not been independently authenticated.

What a wonderful reminder that history is all around us at the McDaniel-Tichenor House—and sometimes we discover something at exactly the right moment!

Just days before our Gilded Age Gala, we find The Gilded Age right here in the house. We couldn’t have planned that timing any better!
We look forward to stepping back into the Gilded Age with you this Thursday!✨
