Museum Shop
Reminiscent of Victorian grace, the carriage house gift shop offers unique and lovely jewelry and gifts for men and women as well as an irresistible children's section. Books pertinent to the nineteenth century on architecture, art history, and gardens will delight you. Consider visiting at Christmastime when the shop is greatly expanded to offer a wider range of gifts and of course beautiful Victorian-inspired ornaments, for which we are famous. Many have made it a family tradition to visit the mansion and shop during the Christmas season.
The museum shop is open during the regular Mansion hours of operation. Below are a few of our currently featured items. While we do not yet offer online ordering, we are happy to take orders and arrange shipping by phone.
