Christmastide at Gunston Hall

Explore Gunston Hall (10709 Gunston Road, Lorton, VA) this holiday season, and experience the celebrations for its inhabitants of two very different centuries. Join the Mason family in a simple, unadorned Christmas in the 1780s, and Mr. and Mrs. Hertle's glittering festivities in the 1920s.

Enjoy period music in the Mansion and the Visitor Center, dig your hands into some 18^thand 20^th century holiday craft activities, and sample 18^th-century style fare. Sing along with Christmas carols you already know and appreciate the melodies of 18th-century-holiday hymns.

Plus, families can visit with Santa Claus in the Visitor Center and pick up last minute gifts in the museum shop.

Tickets are $15 for adults; $10 for children; Friends of Gunston Hall receive a 50% discount.
