Journey to Kennebunkport Maine during the magical time of Christmas Prelude!

CHRISTMAS AT VICTORIA MANSION – Also known as the Morse-Libby House, Victoria Mansion was built between 1858 and 1860 as a summer home for two people, Ruggles Sylvester Morse and his wife Olive. They were both from Maine originally, but Morse made his fortune in New Orleans where he operated luxury hotels. This spectacular summer home is widely considered one of the finest examples of the Italian Villa style in America. Every holiday season, the Mansion transforms into a Victorian winter wonderland for Christmas. This beloved celebration features decorations by some of the community’s leading and up-and-coming artists, florists, designers, and fellow non-profit organizations to highlight the Mansion’s original 19th century interiors. Now in its fourth decade, over 8,000 visitors attend this annual event and we will enjoy it too on our included tour of the mansion.

WHITE COLUMNS MANSION – KENNEBUNKPORT – Built in 1853, White Columns is the Kennebunkport Historical Society’s premier property. Owned and loved by the same family for 130 years, the Victorian-era home has retained its old world charm and still contains the home’s original furnishings. Step back in time by taking a guided tour. Docents will lead you through seven rooms of the stately home and share stories about three generations of the Perkins-Nott family that lived, loved and lost in this magnificent Greek revival mansion. The tour includes a brief history of Kennebunkport, its shipbuilding and maritime traditions, and the important connection between the house and the family of Presidents H.W. and George W. Bush who have summered in Kennebunkport for generations.

OUR MYSTERY TOUR – Well if we told you it wouldn’t be a mystery. But let’s just say it will be a yummy and bubbly visit.

OUR WATERFRONT HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS – THE NONANTUM RESORT – The Nonantum Resort located in the picturesque seaside town of Kennebunkport, Maine, offers one of the premier waterfront locations on the Southern Maine coastline. The Nonantum Resort was built in 1883 and opened on the Fourth of July of that year! This beautiful resort features elegantly appointed rooms, private baths, dining overlooking Kennebunkport harbor, heated pool, hot tub, recreational activities and service reminiscent of days gone by.
