Christmas Spectacular at Stetson Mansion
Visitors tour the 1886 Victorian mansion to view ten rooms elaborately adorned with designer holiday decorations and more than fifty nativities from around the world. Guests explore the ground floor, three second-floor bedrooms, and original restored mosaic parquet floors either on a docent-led tour or self-guided with a mobile audio guide. The visit concludes inside the historic schoolhouse, which has been converted into a guest cottage and gift shop with a 15-foot Polynesian ceiling.
