Relax into the Holidays
The holiday season is often a period of high activity and accompanying stress and anxiety, which was just as true a century ago as it is today. A special tour of the James J. Hill House will focus on the many ways the Hill family and their servants, ca. 1891-1921, found ways to celebrate the hectic Christmas and New Year’s season with elaborate entertaining and simple pleasures.
