Renovated and enlarged at the height of the Victorian Era, it is a simply delightful estate, particularly during the holiday season when she is dressed in her holiday finery.

Enchanting Decorations

In a multiple day decorating extravaganza, Mount Hope Mansion is transformed inside and out into a seasonal wonderland. Beginning with the wreath hung over the golden knocker on the front door and throughout the first floor, the decorations echo the classic elegance and colorful sophistication of the Victorian era. Boughs of evergreens topped with velvet ribbons are strung from floor to ceiling and throughout the halls. Gigantic Victorian displays adorn the many mantles, while glowing candles twinkle in every window and throughout the outside grounds surrounding the Mansion. A special thanks to Carrie Emich-Wallace and her helpers—Judy and Shane for the 100+ hours they dedicated to the Holiday decorations we enjoy this season!

Billard Room

Added in the 1895 renovation, the mantel which rests above the spacious hearth in the billard room is composed of one massive piece of sandstone quarried on the estate. The massive new bar in the Billard Room was installed in November 2017 and was built in the late 1800's in Ireland and shipped to New York. The bar then found its home in the Elizabethtown Inn in the 1920's where it remained until going into storage two year before being purchased for the Mansion. Libations by the Glass: Featuring a selection of Mount Hope Wines, Swashbuckler Beers, Lancaster County Ciders, and seasonal cocktails featuring Spirits Distlling Co.
