Have you ever wondered what it would be like to visit the Jones - Stewart Mansion after sunset, when the moonlight takes over the sky, in the evening hours? What was it like to live in such a place when candlelight and fireplaces provided the only means of light? How exactly does light manipulate space or change our perceptions? How can the use of light be incorporated into architecture?

The Jones-Stewart Mansion is approximately one hundred and sixty-nine years old and is a historical building that we hope to preserve, protect, and share for many more years to come. Please be mindful while inside the Mansion, keep behind closed gates, please do not run or jump, please do not touch furniture or sit on roped-off chairs, and children should be close-by their adult counterparts.

Meet on the back porch of the Jones-Stewart Mansion (facing Mansion Gardens). The last tour will begin at 8:30pm. There is a maximum limit of 20 participants per tour.

Custom, hand carved, wooden bed frame - part of a three piece furniture set- imported as part of permanent collection in bedroom of Jones- Stewart Mansion.
