Special Tour: Household Staff: A History
Limit 10 people
Offered Thursday, April 23 at 2:00PM and Saturday, April 25 at 11:00AM
Grand homes of the last century had a small army of workers who toiled unnoticed, and frequently unrecognized, to make the daily lives of the families who employed them flow seamlessly from morning to night, and from one event to another. Our newest offering is a behind-the-scenes tour that will give voice to those who made this house tick, while we explore the spaces where the household staff lived and worked. Though the former servants wing is now used for administrative functions, the rooms remain intact with bits of evidence of their former appearance. Recent research has revealed more insights about these indispensable members of the household. Join us for this insightful glimpse into the past and experience Hill-Stead from a completely different point of view.
Note: To take this tour, visitors need to be comfortable with stairs.
