Join Hearthstone’s Executive Director George Schroeder on a special tour that explores how almost every one of today’s popular holiday secular traditions - from decorating trees to sending cards to eating turkey dinner - started in the Victorian Era. The tours are 80 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.

Each guest will also receive, as a small holiday gift from Hearthstone, recipe cards featuring favorite Victorian Christmas fare.

Please note:

• Please arrive ten minutes early for the tour. The tour will start promptly at the stated time.

• Also please note that to see every room on the tour, guests will need to climb steps to the second floor.
