Candlelight Tours

Experience the Alice by candlelight during one of our special holiday-themed tours. As we visit the museum's decorated period rooms, we'll follow William Miner from his childhood on the family farm, to Chicago with Alice, and back to Chazy. We'll see that while how the Miners celebrated Christmas changed from the simple celebrations of the 1870s to the lavish affairs at Heart's Delight Farm in the 1920s, the same themes of community, generosity, and hospitality run through the years.

The tour will last about 45 minutes, and will conclude with historically inspired refreshments and holiday games in the museum’s ballroom. Please note that participants will need to navigate stairways and narrow hallways in moderately low lighting. Because of space considerations, each tour is limited to twelve participants and advance registration is required.
