Christmas at America’s Landmark Houses, 2nd Edition

Patricia Hart McMillan

Updated with new photography and a new project, this book inspires readers with elegant Christmas decor from the decked-out homes of men and women who made political, business, and military history

Tour Edsel and Eleanor Ford's castle, the Bush family ranch house, and more

Over 300 images capture the over-the-top magic of Christmas at history-making homes

Here is Christmas decorating, history, architecture, and interior design wrapped in one sparkling package. Three hundred sixty-three gorgeous images provide a leisurely look at historic house interiors magically decorated for Christmas. Begin with the foreword by Christopher Radko, famed re-creator of vintage Christmas ornaments. Tour historic holiday homes from Filoli to Colonial Williamsburg and look inside San Antonio’s most beautiful house—the Spanish Governor’s Palace. Nearby in Midland, Texas, is the ranch-style childhood home of the Bushes—two future US presidents, a first lady, and two state governors. There is something for everyone, from the modest dwelling of Canadian WWI flying ace Billy Bishop to the “castle” of Edsel Ford of Ford Motors fame, along with decorating styles from contemporary to period correct.
