Stan Hywet Christmas
Stan Hywet Hall at Christmas is the most beautiful site to see. With half a million Christmas Lights, it is a winter wonderland. Dress warmly because you will not want to miss the lights throughout the Stan Hywet Gardens. There is even a 30 foot tall tree of lights on the West Terrace Overlook.
Inside Stan Hywet Hall, you will find beautiful Christmas decorations in every room. It is too beautiful to imagine or capture on film, it is a must-see.
