Living History Christmas Tours

Your visit will begin with the opportunity to witness Beechwood's colorful characters interacting as servants, family members, and THE Mrs. Astor's society friends, as you tour throughout the festively decorated home. 

Then, the guests will be brought into the beautiful ballroom to watch and participate in (if they wish) vintage dances and joyous caroling.  The warm smiles and the cheer of the hot wassail (spiced cider) offered by the servants will surely enlighten your visit.
