Shippen Manor: Victorian Candlelight Holiday Tours

Victorian Candlelight Holiday Tours

Vic Xmas Tree

 

 The celebration of Christmas derived from the traditions of earlier civilizations, but it was the Victorians who developed it into what we see today-- filled with traditions, festivities and gifts!

For reservation-only tours, our docents will welcome you into our beautiful manor and share with you the Victorian traditions of the holiday season. We will also have special music playing for our visitors. These special tours are limited in size to 10 visitors (adults & children). 

For those who are unable to get a reservation, you are invited to walk-though the building (2 pm until closing at 4 pm) to see the decorations, only. (The building is quite beautiful when decorated for the holidays!)

Update on 11/15: 11am and 12pm are still open; 1pm is closed

Reservations open on November 1 until all spaces fill (this happens quickly).

Please call 908-453-4381 or email Gina.

In case of inclement weather, the tours will be cancelled without a "snow" date.  Driveway work may cause the museum to be closed for the remainder of the season. Please check our Facebook for updates (Shippen Manor).

To check availability for the remaining 11am and 12pm tour slots, please call Gina at 908-453-4381.

 If additional ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accommodations are required, all requests must be submitted in writing up to two (2) weeks prior to the programming event and we will do our best to accommodate. Please send all ADA accommodation requests to Gina Rosseland or send a letter to our offices at Shippen Manor (8 Belvidere Ave., Oxford, NJ 07863).
