Christmas Tours of the Mansion

Christmas Tours begin on November 22, 2022 through mid-January 2023.
If you are driving from a distance, we recommend checking our social media or calendar as we do have a couple of dates that we must close during tours for private rentals of Lillian's Table Culinary Experience.

We are closed to tours November 14-18 to prepare for and have our Holiday Open House events.

We're crazy about Christmas here at the Hormel Historic Home.  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.

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

We will do our absolute best to adjust tour hours here, on our Facebook Page, on Google, and Instagram account weekly.
Questions about a specific date or interested in reserving a bus tour group and lunch or dinner?  Contact us at 507-433-4243.
