Boscobel House and Gardens, in Garrison, will be conducting Twilight Tours and Holiday House Tours on weekends in December. In addition, they are offering a Holiday Wreath-Making Workshop on December 3, 2022, and Holiday Hot Tea Service on December 18, 2022.

“Twilight Tours offer an especially beautiful seasonal experience,” says Amber Stickle, director of audience engagement and programs. “Experience Boscobel House and Gardens lit by candlelight, decorated for 19th-century holidays and resonating with live music. Enjoy a cup of mulled cider, hot chocolate and cookies in the Carriage House or as you stroll among twinkling lights.”

The Holiday House Tours offer participants an opportunity to explore the beauty and historical significance of Boscobel’s Historic House Museum with an expert guide, says Stickle. Boscobel’s interiors display a celebrated collection of New York furniture from the Federal period.

On December 3, the Parcel Flower Co. will teach participants to make their own holiday wreath using locally sourced evergreens, foraged materials and dried flowers. All supplies will be provided. There will also be a holiday toast with wine, cider and treats.

On December 18, participants will get to enjoy hot tea service—including sandwiches, savories, pastries and desserts—and experience the holidays as they were celebrated in early America. They can sip teas over winter tales or holiday music from the 18th and 19th centuries.
