Holidays at the Waterhouse Museum

This historic house museum reflects the life of a middle class Victorian family during the early days of the city of Maitland. The home was originally built by Maitland resident and carpenter William Waterhouse in 1884.
"Holidays at the Waterhouse" runs from November 12, 2008-January 11, 2009. Visitors to the Waterhouse Residence Museum will find a fabulous Victorian Christmas. Trees, decorations, and traditions fill the home representing a combination of both Victorian and typical Floridian Christmas decor. Guests will find an extra treat on their tour as they get to search for the annual visitor, the Waterhouse Mouse!

The museum is just a short walk or ride from Thurston House, bed & breakfast.
