Holiday Classic Mansion Tour

Experience Lyndhurst Mansion transformed into an gilded wonderland of holiday splendor.

Described as one of the “Ten Best Historic Holiday Tours” by USA Today, Lyndhurst goes all-out for the season, filling our historic spaces with elaborate, uniquely themed holiday decor that changes every single year.

Dozens of Christmas trees are expertly designed and decorated to complement the elegant period furnishings within the mansion’s rooms. For this month only, our curators bring out rarely seen, glittering possessions belonging to Lyndhurst’s former owners—offering a unique opportunity to view archival treasures usually tucked away from public view.

• Duration: This guided tour lasts approximately 1 hour and visits the two main floors of the mansion.
• Content: Tours focus on deep discussions of history, architecture, and art.
• Family Recommendations: Because of the lecture-style format, these guided tours may not be entertaining for young children. Families are warmly encouraged to look into our Roam-On-Your-Own events, which allow visitors to explore these festive spaces at their own family-friendly pace.
