Compass Inn Museum by Candlelight: Holiday Tours
Celebrate the magic of the Yuletide season at Compass Inn Museum!
Step into an enchanting winter wonderland, where an early 1800s stagecoach inn is dressed in festive greenery and pinecone accents. Begin your journey in the 1820s cookhouse, where the scent of warm holiday spices fills the air, transporting you back to cherished family traditions written down to share. As you wander through the Inn, let the glow of crackling wood fires and candlelight envelop you in warmth and nostalgia. Then, in the cozy 1862 Room, settle by the grand Rumford fireplace with a cup of hot apple cider and a delicious ginger cookie, as the timeless tale A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement C. Moore fills the room with holiday cheer. Complete your adventure with a stop at the blacksmith shop, where master smithies forge their craft before your eyes, bringing the past to life with every strike of the hammer.
Make this holiday season truly special—step into history and experience the magic of an old-fashioned Yuletide celebration!
