Spend the holidays with Historic New England

Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with us at holiday events through early January, house tours, and open landscapes. See what’s happening in person, and check out our virtual event offerings. Please carefully check mask and vaccination guidelines for each event.

Enjoy a Victorian Christmas

On all regular house tours of the Eustis Estate from December 2 through January 2, see the mansion decorated as it would have been in 1878, complete with a twelve-foot Christmas tree, garlands, festive mantelpieces, and floral arrangements.
