Historic Holiday Open Houses

Need a little country in your city this holiday season? There are plenty of historic sites in the Historic House Trust's collection that have been festively decorated and are hosting a series of events through January 10th. "From trolley tours in Staten Island and Queens to concerts and candlelight tours to Nutcracker-themed decorations and visits from Saint Nick," the 13 houses span the 5 boroughs. More details here, and coming up this Saturday you can catch a Candlelight Tour at the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum in the Bronx.

That first image is like a postcard.

Great shot of the Hessian Hut. There were many of these around that part of the city during the Revolution.

Visiting the Dyckman House is a surreal experience considering you're in an authentic, rustic farmhouse in Manhattan.

I agree with Jen--that first image is amazing!

I can't believe that's Manhattan!
