Join Ramsey House costumed staff as they celebrate the holidays in the Victorian-era mansion. Guides will lead hour-long tours featuring stories and tidbits about the house that has brought Christmas alive for generations of Minnesotans. View original Ramsey family heirlooms including blown glass ornaments adorning the tree in the parlor and the 1875 Christmas dinner table featuring Mrs. Ramsey's Havilland china. Visitors can meet the Ramseys' long-time cook Annie Robertson in the kitchen and sample cookies fresh from the wood-burning stove. Hot cider will also be served. Holiday gifts and candies will be available in the Carriage House Gift Shop.
