Holiday Walk at Meadow Brook Hall
Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester opens its self-guided Holiday Walk on Friday, December 4, with tours starting at 11 a.m. You get an hour inside the historic mansion on the Oakland University campus, dressed up for the season. Tickets are available online.
Meadow Brook Hall has put on its Holiday Walk for more than 50 years. You wander through the 110-room estate on your own, from the Grand Ballroom to the Sun Porch, past about 50 trees, flickering fireplaces and lots of lights. The mansion is a National Historic Landmark, built by Matilda Dodge Wilson between 1926 and 1929 and a prime example of Tudor-revival architecture.
The walk takes about an hour, is open to all ages and runs rain, snow or shine. Start times go every half hour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The hall closes from 4 to 5:30 p.m. daily to reset the tour route. Parking is free in Lot 61. On Santa Saturdays (Nov. 29, Dec. 6, 13 and 20), Santa joins in too.
