Event details: Hill House Holidays
Description
The bustle and excitement of a Gilded Age Christmas is brought to life as the servants of the James J. Hill House prepare for the holidays. Costumed actors portray people who actually worked for the Hill family during the first decade of this century in a dramatized portrayal of servant life and holiday preparations at this Summit Avenue mansion. The one-hour program moves through the elegant first floor spaces and then to the basement servant work areas.
