Gilded Age Glenview: Historic Home Tour
Step into holiday magic at Glenview, our treasured 1877 historic home, festively decorated for the season! On a 45-minute guided tour, discover the Gilded Age holiday traditions of the Trevor family, exploring six restored period rooms decked with antique ornaments, toys, beautifully adorned trees, and a festive tablescape. Admire Glenview’s fine woodwork, art, and architectural features that make it a landmark of early Gilded Age design.
New this year: original kissing balls created by contemporary artists, a reimagining of Victorian mistletoe that once invited romantic gestures in doorways.
