Boscobel candlelit mansion tours

Boscobel House and Gardens is bringing back its popular Twilight Tours this holiday season. With the candlelit mansion decorated for a 19th-century Christmas and resonating with live, period string music, expert guides stationed throughout the historic house museum will share stories that bring Yuletide traditions to life. Children are welcome and can search for gingerbread kids hidden among the home’s decorations.

Each tour will conclude with a reception in the decorated gallery. Visitors can also listen to live holiday music in the Visitor Center and browse a reimagined gift shop.

“Twilight Tours showcase Boscobel at its holiday best,” says Ed Glisson, director of visitor engagement. “They are great fun for people of any age, and they beautifully link our lives today with our historic past. We look forward to celebrating with the community.”

Holiday tours will take place from 3:30 to 7 p.m., November 23-25, December 1-2 and December 8-9. The Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra Quintet and acoustic guitarist Dan Stevens will provide live musical entertainment.

Cost: Adults $25, children $16 and children under 5 free. Advance reservations recommended. Location: 1601 Rte. 9D, Garrison, NY. For tickets or more information, call 845.265.3638 or visit Boscobel.org.
