Touring a
historic house where the halls are lavishly decked for the holidays is
a great way to celebrate the season.
From stunning Christmas
trees to historical artifacts festively dressed, every inch of the
Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown is a spectacle to see. And it's not just tours
the mansion offers. "We have wonderful theatre that is performed in
the mansion. So, it’s a completely different way to experience Lyndhurst - not
on a tour but sitting and watching a performance," says Executive Director
Howard Zar.
This is the final week to
check out one of those performances, "Mr. Dickens tells a Christmas
Carol." Actor Michael Muldoon, who plays Charles Dickens, says it is a
privilege to be able to put on his show inside the mansion. "We believe
that it's extraordinary because our production takes places in these
surrounding, the sumptuous magnificent mansion."
The tour takes about one
hour. Aside from the holiday décor, you'll also get to see some rare
items that belonged to Lyndhurst’s former owners. News 12 is told lots of the
treasures are usually tucked away in their archives.
