CANDLELIGHT TOURS: CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT

See Stanley-Whitman House in a completely new light for the holidays and join us for a light supper in our tavern room before touring the house and enjoying period dramas performed by our costumed historic interpreters.

This magical program starts with a warming supper of hearty soup, bread, and gingerbread cookies served in the Whitman Tavern. Then follow your costumed guide to experience mini-dramas that tell the story of Christmas in Connecticut within the festively decorated National Historical Landmark historic house.

Tours begin at 11:00am and depart every thirty minutes thereafter, ending with the last tour at 4:00pm. Once you have made purchased your ticket, staff will contact you to schedule you for a specific tour time.

Guests may park in the museum's lot, on the street opposite the museum, or at the Barney Library, which is just short walk away. Plan to spend some time in our Museum Shop to do some of your seasonal shopping. Seating is limited, so purchase your tickets early- this program sells out every year! Members: $15.00; Non-member: $20.00
