Historic Holidays: Caroling through the Season
This year, the Deering Estate invites you to step back in time and experience the magic of the season with “Historic Holidays: Caroling through the Season.”
The Richmond Cottage, as well as the first floor and basement of the Stone House , with surrounding outdoor areas of the Estate will come alive with the nostalgic charm of traditional holiday carols. Each room will be adorned with festive décor inspired by the beloved songs that have filled our hearts for generations. Under the creative direction of the Deering Estate Designer-in-Residence, Alfredo Brito, and in collaboration with talented local designers, the Estate will transport visitors to a bygone era where carolers, sleigh bells, and warm hearths evoke the true spirit of the holidays.
From the halls decked in holly, to the glow of candlelit windows, this year’s theme celebrates the joy of gathering and the timeless melodies that unite us all in festive cheer. Highlights include rooms themed to classic carols such as “Frosty, the Snowman,” “Silent Night,” and “Jingle Bells,” each bringing to life the lyrics through intricate and immersive holiday displays.
The Deering Estate’s holiday décor includes over a dozen holiday trees, from the grand 17-foot tree in the Great Hall, to multiple smaller trees throughout the historic houses that will be lavishly decorated to accentuate the architectural details and fine furnishings of the historic structures. Each room is thoughtfully designed and dressed by a cadre of award-winning professional interior designers.
The Historic Holiday Decor will be on display daily Friday, Nov. 29, 2024 – Tuesday, January 7, 2025 (10 AM – 5 PM; Gates close at 4 PM). Deering Estate is closed on Christmas Day.
