The Lee-Fendall House will be offering special “Downton
Abbey” themed tours of the museum during February. The current owner of Highclere Castle – the
real world castle where the popular television program “Downton Abbey” is
filmed – is a direct descendant of the original owner of the Lee-Fendall House,
Philip Fendall. The tours will compare similarities
between people and places within the world of the television series and those
of the Lee-Fendall House. The tour will
include the servant’s wing and kitchen area with its service bells, which are
not regularly open to the public. The
tours will be offered each Sunday in February at 2:00 pm. Tickets are available for sale through the
museum’s website at www.leefendallhouse.org. Tickets purchased
in advance are $5 per person, tickets the day of the program will be $7 per
person.
