Holiday tours are free to the public, and visitors are encouraged to bring a new, non-perishable food item which will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin. Or bring a new Children’s Book (ages 0-12) to support the First Lady's Holiday Children's Book Drive, which will be distributed to Madison Reading Project and onwards to kids in Wisconsin.
