Stunning decorations and original artwork, concerts, parties and our annual family day await you at the 200-year old mansion!
A towering Christmas tree framed by a four-story spiral staircase, elegant decorations on every mantle and in every nook and cranny, original artwork by top local artists…these are just a few of the many delights that await you this Christmas season at Linden Place Mansion in downtown Bristol, Rhode Island.
