The Farms: Holiday History Night

Step into a world of festive elegance at an open house-style Holiday History Night on Tuesday, Dec. 16 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Mansion. Experience the magic of the Allerton Mansion bejeweled with more than 40 twinkling trees as you move throughout the first floor and some of the decorated rooms upstairs.

Allerton’s dedicated group of volunteer tour guides will be stationed around the house to share the unique history of Allerton Park and the creation of the estate.

This self-guided tour takes about 60 minutes to complete so give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the Mansion in all of its splendor before Holiday History Night concludes at 7 p.m.

A bar will be available from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

$15/person. Register here. Registration will close Dec. 15 or when capacity is reached*. All sales are final.

*Tickets will be available at the door as space allows.

Complete your visit with an overnight stay in the Mansion or one of our guesthouses. View rooms and book online or by calling 217-333-3287.
