Easton Festival of Trees

Thursday, December 8, 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm – A Very Merry Night on the Hill

by

Every year, Beacon Hill attracts the likes of many with its rich history, beauty and culture. As winter fast approaches, the “Hill” will transform into a winter wonderland, with a fresh layer of snow to overlay and brighten the cobblestone sidewalks and antique lamps. On Thursday, December 8th, 2011, the Boston Center for Adult Education (BCAE) is offering guests an intimate look into the exclusive neighborhood with a tour of the historic Nichols House, followed by appetizers and wine at 75 Chestnut.

The Nichols House is a perfect replica of what domestic life would have looked like in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in this historic neighborhood. It was constructed in 1804 and is one of the earliest structures on Beacon Hill. As one of the most monumental homes in the area, The Nichols House is filled with precious items, accumulated over generations, and on this particular night, it will be beautifully adorned for the holidays!

Following the tour, students will head over to 75 Chestnut, a premier restaurant in Beacon Hill, where they will enjoy the warm and inviting ambiance along with appetizers and paired wine from executive chef Marcus Ripperger. For more information please visit www.BCAE.org, or call 617-267-4430. Tickets are $55 each, and registration is necessary.
