RONCEVERTE W.Va. (WVDN) – The Ellis Historical Mansion is launching a Christmas-themed fundraiser, “Tidings of Terror,” inviting attendees to meander through eerie holiday scenes decked in vintage decor and featuring chilling characters inspired by classic Christmas lore. The community event aims to blend festive thrills with a noble cause: the ongoing restoration of the historic Victorian mansion.
