"A Christmas tour of the Stetson Mansion is an event!!
Visitors to the mansion will be guided through the 1st and second floors of the home by a knowledgeable tour guide, or maybe even one of the owners, as holiday music from the baby grand player piano wafts in the background. These enchanting tours lead guests through two floors which include the 3 main bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and the secret master closet while being fed the history of the mansion as well as detailing the inspiring story of the new owners extensive restoration. Just when you think you have seen it all you are then treated to a visit into the original schoolhouse which has since been converted to a Zen like cottage featuring a soaring 15 ft ceiling decorated in full holiday regalia. Magical and awe inspiring are the best words to describe the estate and tour. Christmas tours will start on November 15th and continue until January 15th. All tours must be booked in advance, so make sure to call for availability. The cost for the tour is $25 and will last approximately one hour. Owner JT Thompson says, “Every time I walk around the mansion or lead a tour this time of year I feel like a little boy filled with the enthusiasm and joy of Christmas. I still can’t believe that a kid born and raised in the projects of Newark, New Jersey gets to call this place home..life is pretty amazing."
