Surrounded by 16-acres of gardens and sitting on a 654-acre estate, the Filoli Historic House & Garden is a sight to be seen no matter what time of year it is. Also known as the Bourn-Roth Estate, Filoli was built over a century ago for the owner of one of California’s richest gold mines. The structure itself is a testament to the wealth that a select few enjoyed thanks to the California Gold Rush, and today it makes for an amazing place to visit…especially during the holidays! Home to one of the most dazzling holiday displays in Northern California, you’ll want to be sure to pay a visit to this festive historic house this season.
