Are you looking for something new to add to your holiday celebration this year? How about participating in the Bramwell Christmas Home Tour in West Virginia? This beloved event is taking place on the evening of December 10, 2022, and will give you an opportunity to glimpse inside some of those million-dollar homes that were built here back in coal’s heyday.
Once upon a time (back in the 1800s), one small river town hidden away in West Virginia mountains earned the moniker "Home of Millionaires" thanks to having more millionaires per capita than any other spot in the whole nation of America.
Although there are relatively few millionaires living in Bramwell, West Virginia these days by comparison (the average annual median income per household in 2000 was under $22,000), the houses these millionaires built are still standing guard over this small mountain town.
You can pick any day of the year to walk the streets of Bramwell and imagine the stories these houses could tell, but if you want to actually get a glimpse inside any of these massive, million-dollar mansions, you must wait for one of the rare and coveted Bramwell Home Tours, the most festive of which is the Christmas Home Tour.
This year, the Bramwell Christmas Home Tour is scheduled to take place during just one evening, December 10, 2022, for just three hours, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Tickets for this rare opportunity are $20 and can be purchased in advance online or at the Bramwell Presbyterian Church on the evening of the tour (cash or check only).
Multiple homes are participating in the event, but the final list is subject to change up until the day of in case of illnesses or other extenuating circumstances.
