Explore the secret lives of our downstairs staff – and see if you have what it takes to join them! Step back into history and witness what it was like to be in service at a grand estate, as Meadow Brook’s head housekeeper interviews you to be part of the staff.
This Downton Abbey-themed experience features a full cast of participants and surprises along the way, such as rarely shown areas of the historic mansion, from a recently renovated telephone closet to the linen closet and China vault filled with Prohibition-era liquor. On our Servant’s Life tour, you’ll also encounter staff at work in a variety of tasks – ironing, arranging flowers, dusting, mending a dress and beyond. Complete your afternoon with scones, jam, tea and milk in the Servants’ Dining Room.
