Candlelight Tours

Experience the Nichols House Museum by (electric) candlelight on one of our evening tours. Each room is bedecked with trimming inspired by Nichols family traditions and turn of the 20th century styles. We’ll share seasonal stories and a few special items will be on display, including a loan of historic clothing from the collection of the The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Before or after the tour, enjoy a warm drink and check out our shop for a curated collection of unique gifts.

The Nichols House Museum on Boston's historic Beacon Hill was home to an early 20th-century family of artists and social activists. Preserved as a museum by Rose Standish Nichols, a pioneering woman landscape architect, the house is furnished with an original collection, including sculpture by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
