In 2020, USA Today readers voted the Crane House and Historic YWCA’s Holiday House Tour #4 IN THE NATION. Be among the first to see this year’s decorations as one of the Essex County Holiday House Tour sites. Visit us today to see the beautiful period decorations by the Garden Club of Montclair. Self-guided tours let you explore this 226-year-old home at your leisure. Warm yourself in the hearth and learn about holiday food traditions. Stop in to the Nathaniel Crane House for unique holiday gifts!

As a gift to our visitors this holiday season, general admission will be waived. Instead any donations are welcome.

We are excited and proud to announce that our annual Historic Holiday House Tour was nominated to be in the Top Ten as part of USA Today's 10Best Readers Choice Awards! The Crane House & Historic YWCA was nominated among other historic houses nationwide by a panel of nationally known travel experts for the USA Today travel series. With your support we made it into the top 5 Historic Holiday Tours for the past two years. Continue to support our climb to number one by clicking here to cast your vote daily!
