It’s the announcement we’ve been waiting all year to make. 🎄

Presale tickets for Christmas at the Mansions 2026 are officially on sale!

This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate 20 years of holiday magic at Linden Hill Historic Estate.

For two decades, this beloved holiday tradition has brought families and friends together to experience the beauty, history, and magic of the mansions at Christmastime.✨

For 10 days following Thanksgiving, the historic Linden Hill mansions will once again be transformed for the holiday season, with beautifully decorated spaces, timeless traditions, and plenty of Christmas magic around every corner.

Wander through the spectacular Weyerhaeuser and Musser mansions decorated for the holidays. Enjoy live music, hot c***r, cookies, and plenty of picture-perfect moments.

Gather your family and friends and make plans to join us at Linden Hill Historic Estate in Little Falls for Christmas at the Mansions.

🎟️ Tickets are available now. We can’t wait to celebrate 20 years of this beloved tradition with you!

We are not ready for summer to end…how about you?

It’s been THE BEST summer at Linden Hill welcoming little learners and their caregivers every Wednesday for Nature Learning with Ms. Claire.

Their boundless energy, curiosity, and excitement for the world around them brought joy and life to the etsate in a whole new way. We made so many new friends and are already looking forward to next summer!🫧🎨🍃

Many thanks to Ms. Claire and Little Falls Community Services for partnering with us to bring Nature Learning to Linden Hill.☀️

🌲🪓 WHAT A NIGHT! 🪓🌲

We’re still coming down from the Lumberjack Fest fun, and we have a whole lot of people to thank!

To our sponsors who helped make this event possible, our volunteers who jumped in wherever they were needed, our donors who filled our silent auction with amazing items, and everyone who bought a ticket, threw an axe, held a stein, played a game, made a bid, or took a shot at the dunk tank—THANK YOU! ❤️

And a special thank-you to our four brave dunk tank volunteers: Greg Johnson, Tim Bjorge, Nate Miller, and Collin Eckman. We appreciate your willingness to take the plunge for Linden Hill! 💦😂

But most importantly, thank you for supporting the mission of Friends of Linden Hill. Every ticket, donation, bid, and sponsorship helps us continue our work to preserve and share the history and spirit of the Musser/Weyerhaeuser estate on the Mississippi River.

Lumberjack Fest may be over, but the work continues—and because of this community, so does Linden Hill. 🌲

Thank you for showing up, Little Falls. You made this one pretty darn special.❤️

Let’s just say we’ve got a drink lineup fit for a Lumberjack…🍉🍑🍋‍🟩 All cocktails are available as mocktails, too!

Of course, we’re always serving up ice cold Starry Eyed Brewing Co. b**r among other favorites🍺

Come thirsty. Come hungry. Come ready for a good time.

See you at Lumberjack Fest 2026! 🪓🌲🪵

🌲 LUMBERJACK FEST IS MORE THAN A FUN NIGHT OUT. IT’S AN INVESTMENT IN LINDEN HILL FOR THE FUTURE. 🪓

Yes, there will be axe throwing.
Yes, there will be a dunk tank.
Yes, there will be good food, games, and a silent auction.

But the real reason we host Lumberjack Fest is much bigger than one evening.

Every ticket purchased helps support the mission of Friends of Linden Hill: to preserve and share the history and spirit of the Musser/Weyerhaeuser estate on the Mississippi River.

Linden Hill is more than two historic mansions. It’s 9.5 acres of history, stories, gardens, architecture, and memories that belong to our community. Keeping this place cared for, sharing its stories, and making sure future generations can experience it takes a lot of work—and a lot of community support.

That’s why we’re bringing people together for Lumberjack Fest 2026.

Come have fun. Come compete. Come dunk someone. Come bid on something awesome.

And know that when you do, you’re helping us keep Linden Hill here for the next generation. ❤️

A huge thank-you to the businesses, donors, volunteers, staff, and everyone who has helped make this event possible. And thank YOU for supporting Linden Hill simply by showing up.

🪓 Lumberjack Fest
