 Jackson Mansion Tours

As we continue restoration of the Jackson Mansion, we regret that regular tour hours have not yet been established. Following more comprehensive restoration, we will announce what hours the mansion will be available for tours. Until that time, we have set up an e-mail contact to request information about tours by appointment. Please contact us at: mansion.tours@berwickhistoricalsociety.org

Revenue raised from tours of the Jackson Mansion go toward the maintenance of the mansion.

 

 

 Christmas House Tour

No 2009 Tour was held, but we're hoping to bring back this popular holiday event in 2010. Please contact us if you are willing to open your home to our community for the holiday to share the warmth and history of your home. Plans are being compiled for the 2010 Christmas House Tour.

The revenue raised goes to the Historical Society to help fund our operation.
