Special Events
Since 2008, I've offered special events at the James J. Hill House that have been very popular!
Each event begins with a tour of the beautiful James J. Hill House, with interesting facts and stories about the Hill family and servants that relate to the theme of the event. After the tour, visitors gather in the lovely Drawing Room for a relaxation class that includes deep breathing, muscle relaxation exercises, guided imagery, and meditation. If you are interested in history and relaxation, these events are for you!

Celebrate Mother's Day with a special tour at the beautiful James J. Hill House, followed by a relaxation class led by life coach Beth Freschi. The tour will highlight the lives and changing relationships of the women at the Hill House around the turn of the 20th century, including Mrs. Hill and her social circle; her daughters and their lives; and the many female servants who lived and worked at 240 Summit Avenue. Costumed actors playing Mrs. Hill and some of her daughters will mingle with guests and participate in this unique event.
After the tour and light refreshments, gather in the Drawing Room with life coach Beth Freschi for a guided relaxation class to soothe your mind, body and spirit. The class will begin with deep breathing, followed by a muscle relaxation exercise, guided imagery and meditation. Previous tour/relaxation classes at the Hill House have sold out, so reservations are strongly recommended.
We invite you to share a relaxing, uplifting afternoon this Mother's Day at the Hill House!
For reservations, call 651-297-2555.
