A room-by-room holiday display, live music and listed food and drink offerings shape this three-hour evening at the Van Orden Mansion. Admission is $32, with a lower rate for Sauk County Historical Society members.

All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Christmas at the Mansion – Holiday Happier Hours pairs a whole-house holiday display with a social evening at the Van Orden Mansion. Guests can explore the decorated rooms, mingle, and enjoy live holiday music alongside catered appetizers, volunteer-baked cookies and drinks.
For the 2026 theme, “Lands of Yuletide Wonder,” volunteers have given each room its own holiday decorations and Christmas tree. The room-by-room approach makes exploring the mansion the evening’s central activity, rather than limiting the display to one gathering area.
The event listing also frames the mansion as a setting for an evening amid Sauk County history. It does not provide further details about the building’s history, but the historic-house setting is part of what distinguishes this gathering from a conventional music-and-refreshments event.
