On three select weekends: the 12th, 13th, and 14th, the 19th and 20th, and the 26th and 27th, you'll be able to visit and peruse the house and its decorations at your leisure! Tickets are timed on the hour. Walk-ins are welcome and on a first-come-first-served basis.

Throughout October, you will see the majestic vestibule and entrance hall, reception room, parlor, library, and the sumptuous Victorian dining room – all decorated with trimmings for the Autumn Season!  

The second floor, which centers around the grand Picture Gallery, is not decorated and visitors can see those spaces in all their traditional splendor.

For those wanting to see the mansion and the beautiful seasonal decorations, this is the better option than the Halloween themed theatrical nighttime performances. The Open House focus is on the many Gothic Revival furnishings we bring out of storage and display during October only. This open house is appropriate for children of all ages.
