Meadow Brook Hall illuminates at night
Through the end of March, Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester will be viewed like never before.
Docents will show you behind ropes, under tables and inside cabinets to highlight the secret spaces probably missed in the daylight.
From a domed ceiling painted with constellations to the glow of illuminated jade, folks will enjoy new sights and stories as you explore the dimly lit rooms of Meadow Brook with a Flashlight Tour.
This is a unique and intimate experience, with only ten guests per tour. Tours, on Thursdays, will run for approximately an hour and a half. Tours begin at 7 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.
