NEWLAND HOUSE MUSEUM HOLIDAY TOUR

19820 Beach Blvd.,   Huntington Beach  CA  92648     (714) 962-5777
The Newland House is decked out with the spirit of Christmas

Newland House Museum, Huntington Beach, California - Visitors to California often state that it doesn't feel like Christmas in Huntington Beach.  They look at the lighted palm trees, see Santa Claus wearing shorts and flip flops and wonder how locals can ever gain that old fashioned spirit others equate with blankets of snow and frigid weather. Newland House is decked out in holiday style with red bows, Christmas lights on an old fashioned tree and warmth and charm reminiscent of the Victorian era in which the house was built in 1898. Guests can tour the Newland House on Saturdays and Sundays and enjoy seeing the rays of warm, filtered sunlight cut a path through the branches of the holiday tree that's all decked out with old-fashioned ornaments for the public to see.

Normally giving tours on Saturdays and Sundays is historian Jerry Persons, who knows the history of the Newland family as extensively as anyone around. Take his tour and learn about life in 1898 Huntington Beach, a simpler time in many ways. Persons may describe how the Newland boys snuggled up and slept in one bed in a second floor bedroom you can see on the Newland House tour. If that doesn't conjure up images of cozy living, look at the Victorian doll collection, the quilted bedspreads the Newland girls made that grace the girls' beds and the antique sewing machine in a room featuring some of the most sweeping views of Huntington Beach around. Peering past the beautiful setting, the antique wood floors and historic furnishings through the spacious windows, its easy to imagine how the Newland family members would have looked out and seen the ocean and gained a sense of peace and serenity. That feeling exists today when you visit the house and take the tour.

The Newland House is currently open Saturday and Sunday afternoons from Noon to 4 p.m. twice weekends per month.  While there are no laser light decorations, no artificial dancing reindeer on the lawn, there is a simple experience worth an afternoon stop and 15 to 30-minute tour. Guests of all ages enjoy the ambience the Newland House provides all year long, but in its simple holiday style, it is especially lovely now.
