Paine Castle Troy is getting its gilded-age on for the holidays!

During Troy's famous Victorian Stroll, December 7th, 2025, we are opening the doors of Troy's own gilded-age masterpiece, Paine Castle to the community, inviting you to both freely explore the first floor ($5 donation suggested) and buy a ticket for a 30-minute private behind-the-scenes guided tour throughout the mansion.

Our foundation is organizing these guided tours as a fundraiser for repair and restoration projects. Limited to 10 people per timed entry, these tours provide a very informative and fun adventure into the past.

In addition to seeing the glittering Christmas decorations adorning the first floor, tour “behind-the-scenes” areas of the Paine Mansion not open to the general public, including upstairs restorations in progress, and the amazing view from our bell tower!

Back by popular demand we will have a Victorian-era Father Christmas for pictures by the tree in our parlor. See last year's photos with Father Christmas here!

We also have a Community First Look Party Saturday night.

* Sneak peek preview for our community - see the glittering Christmas decorations adorning the first floor
