Winter Lights

So happy I heard about this. We had a great time walking the grounds. The lights were beautiful. While there we also learned that they do a Halloween thing too. We will surely visit this attraction and the Halloween one too next Holiday.

Winterlights was fantastic

Our whole family rode out to see the Winterlights on display here. They had ample parking and provided a school bus to get you to the actual building and its lights. Plus there were good signs everywhere directing you to this rather remote area. The...More

The winter lights shined on the hill at Naumkeg. The paths were lit with little white bags with electric candles, paths through the garden, paths through the woods, paths down the stairs (have you ever seen such sculptural stairs), paths through the greenhouse. This was...More

Wonderland of lights

Naumkeag staff have creatively and beautifully crafted a visual light display. The use of color created a festive atmosphere. The path through the light show was well constructed for ease of movement. The moving dots of light were like a mass of beautiful fireflies. Well...More

Lovely Summer Manse

The whimsical home is a treat to visit in the Spring and Summer, when the extensive gardens are blooming, and in the Fall, when the Berkshire foliage is breathtaking.

Winter lights dazzle

Buy your tickets online in advance and print them out ($17.00). Drive to Marian Fathers and a bus will pick you up to go to Naumkeg either at 5;00 or 7;00. You get to see the first floor of the mansion and then walk the...More
