A Mayowood Christmas: Holiday History Tour

Step into the magic of Christmas past with Rochester Trolley & Tour Company’s new holiday tour – A Mayowood Christmas. This festive version of our popular To Heal the Sick Tour takes you inside the Mayowood Historic Home, beautifully decorated for the holiday season.

Guests will experience how three generations of the Mayo family celebrated Christmas, with traditions spanning the early 1900s through the mid-century years. From twinkling decorations and nostalgic holiday stories to the legendary Emma’s Cookies baked with ginger, cinnamon, and molasses, Mayowood comes alive with warmth and history.

Along the way, our guide will share the stories of the Mayo family, the founding of the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, and the traditions that shaped both Rochester and the Mayo family.
