Evening Candlelight Tours

Washington Irving's Sunnyside
Saturday, December 26, 2009

Candlelight tours bring an 1850s Christmas to life. You'll be escorted down a lantern-lit path to the cottage decorated with holly, evergreens, and real candles. Excerpts from Irving's Christmas tales and family letters are the theme of the evening. You'll also be invited to join in song while a costumed guide accompanies you on the 1830s piano. The tour concludes in the kitchen yard, where hot cider is served beside a roaring fire.

Tours start at 4pm; the last tour begins at 8pm.
