Candlelight Tours and Illumination of Hammond Castle Museum
Begin your evening as you come upon our holiday illumination where twinkling holiday lights set the Castle and our iconic arches aglow. Then, enter the Museum and delight in the enchanting ambiance of Christmas and White Birch trees, meticulously arranged garlands, festive wreaths, and the warm embrace of candlelight that will envelop you throughout your tour of the Hammond Castle Museum. Immerse yourself in a bygone era of opulent tranquility and holiday grandeur that promises to be unlike any other experience on the North Shore.
Following the advice of mentor Alexander Graham Bell, John Hays Hammond Jr. conducted the majority of his work in the evening. While this put Hammond at odds with the rest of the inhabitants of the castle - including his wife Irene - he concluded that working throughout the night and sleeping during the day positively impacted his work as an inventor. With this in mind, “Candlelight tours” are offered Thursday evenings throughout December. Guides will escort visitors through the castle’s many rooms placing an emphasis on the Hammonds themselves and the time that they spent in their castle home.
Tours run at 6, 7 & 8pm. Check in begins 15 minutes prior to the ticketed tour time. Heavy traffic should be considered when planning your travel time. Please note: all ticket sales are final and exchanges for other tour times are not offered.
All proceeds from this program will support the restoration and preservation of the museum.
