Christmas Tours of the Mansion

Christmas Tours of the Mansion begin on November 26, 2024 through mid-January 2025 on *most Tuesdays-Fridays.
If you are driving from a distance, we recommend checking our social media or calendar as we do have some dates that we must close for private rentals of Lillian's Table Culinary Experience.

We are closed to tours November 1-20, 2024 to prepare for and kick off our Holiday Open House fundraisers.

While we're crazy about Christmas here at the Hormel Historic Home, our organization is dedicated to preserving traditions and nostalgic moments to share with our community. 

There's magic in the air throughout the Holiday Season!

Each and every room within the mansion is elegantly decorated and changes from year to year, so you're guaranteed to be inspired by something new each season!  It's a picturesque time of year here.  Our dedicated volunteers make the interior of George & Lillian Hormel's home come to life while the exterior and gardens are lit up in twinkling lights!

Start the season with this annual tradition in Austin, Minnesota by taking a self-guided walk-in tour (or pre-scheduled guided group tour for groups of 10+) of the Hormel Historic Home.  Or scroll up to learn more about our Holiday Open House & other Fundraiser Event Opportunities with options to see the home aglow in holiday lights at night!

Self-guided Walk-in Tours are $5 per person during our regular tour hours: *most Tuesdays-Fridays, 10:00am-4:00pm.  If you are driving from a distance, we recommend checking our social media or calendar as we do have several dates that we must close during tours for private rentals of Lillian's Table Culinary Experience.  

We do our absolute best to adjust tour hours here, on our Facebook Page Cover Photo, website calendar, and on Google bi-weekly.
Questions about a specific date or interested in reserving a bus tour group and lunch or dinner, or a Lillian's Table Culinary Experience?  Contact us at 507-433-4243.
