Weekend Wind Down: Oct. 31 & Nov. 1

We have reserved the Mansion for the public on Friday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 1 so that you can Wind Down and take in the lovely ambiance of Allerton!

Enjoy a cash bar in the Solarium, plus a variety of optional activities, listed below.

You are welcome to bring your own food, or patronize the restaurants in Monticello just five miles away! Find hours and menu for the Greenhouse Café, located a short walk from the Mansion, here. 

Those choosing to spend the night can take advantage of our discounted lodging rate ($110/night +tax), plus two complimentary drinks per room, per night. While lodging is available throughout the year based on availability, now you can plan ahead and book a room in the Mansion or a guesthouse.
