Hill-Stead Holiday Boutique

Hill-Stead Museum’s Holiday Boutique is held yearly during the first
weekend of December - this year's boutique will be December 7 & 8,
2013. More than twenty-five artists and crafters bring their best to
present a dazzling array of unique holiday gifts: botanicals, including
magnificent orchids, clothing and accessories, fine art and antiques,
home and bath items, jewelry, and sweet and savory treats. Admission to
the boutique is free. A local eatery offers delicious soups,
sandwiches and desserts.

On the Sunday of Holiday Boutique weekend, be sure to include a visit
inside the museum. You'll be met with festive period decorations, and
have the opportunity to "meet the Pope family" as they prepare for the
holidays… just as they did at the turn of the century. Hill-Stead staff
greet you in period costumes as you tour the house at your own pace.
Regular admission to the museum lets you enjoy this very special event.
