ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- Touring the recently renovated historic Foley Mansion in South St. Cloud has proven to be a very popular thing to do this holiday season.  Pretty much every tour they offered in late November and December has sold out.

The mansion is all decorated for the holiday season right now.

The good news, though, is if you missed out on the tour before Christmas, the owners have just announced its tour dates for January.

In 1889, Timothy Foley finished construction on his new home near the Mississippi River.  There was a fire at the mansion in 2002 and it has sat empty since then.  In 2019, the Arvig family bought the property and it underwent a major reconstruction.
