"The lights were very well done," Rusi said. "You could tell there was a lot of thought put into it." This reflects how meticulously the estate is decorated, adding to its appeal.
"It gave me a taste of how people used to live," said Harold Rusi, an attendee. "It felt like I was transported into a different era." His experience highlights the estate's historical significance.
Every holiday season, the sprawling Filoli Historic House and Garden of 654 acres transforms into a Christmas-themed wonderland adorned in vintage decorations and elaborate light exhibitions that draws thousands of visitors.
The estate was built in 1917 as a private residence for Agnes and William Bourn, featuring a 54,000-square-foot Georgian revival-style mansion and 16 acres of English Renaissance gardens.
