Join Hearthstone’s Executive Director George Schroeder or one of the museum’s docents on a special tour that explores how almost every one of today’s popular holiday secular traditions - from decorating trees to sending cards to caroling to even eating turkey dinner - started in the Victorian Era.
The tours are 90 minutes in length and visit each room of the residence focusing on the lavish holiday decorations that bring to life the finest in Victorian Christmas celebrations.
Guests will not only be amazed at how relatively recent the secular celebration has developed. They will also be armed with enough Christmas trivia to wow any family gathering!
Each guest will also receive, as a small holiday gift from Hearthstone, recipe cards featuring favorite Victorian Christmas fare!
