Gingerbread House Decorating

Come to the American Gothic House and construct your own little house for our annual gingerbread house decorating event. Children of all ages are invited to come by and make a “gingerbread” house using edible materials (graham crackers, frosting, and candy) provided by the American Gothic House Center. This event is free and fun for all!

This event is just one of many in the Christmas festivities held around Eldon. See below for the flyer containing the rest of the activities that you can take part in during your time in Eldon, include a number of other events on the same day as our Gingerbread event!

Our gingerbread event is sponsored in part by Hy-Vee South in Ottumwa. We wish to extend our thanks to them for their continued support of many of our free events that we put on for the benefit of residents of Wapello County.
