A Gilded Christmas at Historic William Hickling Prescott House on Beacon Hill 


Special Tours and Entertainment for Guests from Friday, December 9 through Sunday, December 11, 2022


BOSTON, MA - The National Society of Colonial Dames in Massachusetts will be opening up its headquarters, The William Hickling Prescott House on 55 Beacon Street on Beacon Hill, from Friday, December 9th through Sunday, December 11th to celebrate the holidays with our friends and neighbors. Each day will offer special entertainment, such as:



“We are excited to open up Prescott House at 55 Beacon Street for this special holiday weekend to share our beautiful mansion across from the Boston Common so that more people can experience what life was like for a Beacon Hill family in the 1800’s, said Lydia Kimball, President of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America in Massachusetts. “Our headquarters is one of the top examples of Federal architecture in Boston. It was built in 1808 for the Boston merchant, James Smith Colburn on land purchased from John Singleton Copley, America’s most accomplished colonial portrait painter, who once owned the land.


“We’re so excited for “A Gilded Christmas” at Prescott House this year, said Patricia Tully, Executive Director, Beacon Hill Civic Association. “We have always thought that Prescott House was a “neighborhood hidden gem” and believe that it’s a great idea to open up this historic museum for a holiday weekend to share it with friends and neighbors alike.”
