Deck The Halls by Candlelight, Candlelight tours at Hammond Castle Museum

Every Thursday evening in December.

December 5, 12, 19 & 26

Tours run at 6, 7, & 8pm.


Join us for our 6th annual Deck The Halls holiday celebration. Hammond Castle Museum will be dressed for the holidays inside and out.


Begin your evening as you come upon our holiday illumination where holiday lights set the Castle and our iconic arches aglow. Then, enter the Museum and delight in the enchanting ambiance of White Birch and Christmas 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 his 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 on Thursday evenings throughout December. Guides will escort visitors through the Museum's many rooms placing an emphasis on the Hammonds themselves and the time that they spent in their castle home. Electronic candles will be provided for optional use by visitors for the duration of the Candlelight Tours.
