Christmas Tours

As you cross the threshold of the Astors' Beechwood
Mansion, you step back in time to St. Nicholas Day
1891.  You are a dear friend coming to join Mrs. Astor
and her family for a magnificent celebration. 

The home is decorated in full holiday splendor and
music fills the air.  Once you have greeted Mrs. Astor,
please tour the home and visit with the family.
Don’t forget to sneak into the servants’ hall for a
behind the scenes glimpse of holiday activity!

As the touring winds down, the butler will invite you into the
ballroom.  You will be seated at a table for ten guests and
will have the opportunity to interact with them, as well as
members of the Astor family, throughout the event. 

As the performance begins, and you journey back in time,
the beautiful voices of our company of actors will help
re-create this bygone era.  After introductions, dinner begins.

You will be entertained during your entire stay at Beechwood.
You will enjoy delightful events between each course, chuckle
at the servants’ antics, and you just might see St. Nicholas
himself. The highlight of this spectacular soirée is a vocal
performance so breathtaking it will fill even the hardest heart
with the true spirit of Christmas. We look forward to your visit.
