Celebrate Camellia Days with special Wednesday tours of the historic Lyman Estate mansion. This 45-minute guided tour leads visitors through more than a century of history, from the Federal period and the Industrial Revolution to the Gilded Age and beyond. Hear stories of the Lyman family and their staff and learn about the estate's architecture and landscape design.


During Camellia Days, tours are paired with the seasonal magic happening just beyond the mansion at the historic Greenhouses. Enjoy the 100-year-old camellias in full bloom at one of the oldest surviving greenhouses in the United States. The Greenhouses are open to visitors 9:30 a.m.– 4:00 p.m. Please visit here for information on greenhouse tours.


Member Free; Nonmember $15; Senior $13; Student $7; EBT or SNAP $2.
