Swagged greenery, fruits and berries, antique toys, heirloom quilts and coverlets transform the house and transport visitors back in time.
Each room will delight young and old and many have made the tour part of their family holiday traditions. Christmas tours have been held every year since Historic Salisbury Foundation purchased the house in 1972.
