Come and Experience Wildfair for Mansion in May 2025
Step back in time to the grandeur and charm of Wildfair, an elegant country estate rich in history and beauty, as it becomes the centerpiece of the highly anticipated Mansion in May 2025. Nestled in picturesque Chester Township, NJ, Wildfair will open its doors this May to welcome thousands of visitors, designers, and enthusiasts for a month-long celebration of design, history, and philanthropy.
A Storied Past at Wildfair
Wildfair’s legacy stretches back more than two centuries, evolving from a working farm and gristmill to a gracious and sprawling estate. Originally built on land that housed mills and workshops along the Peapack Brook, Wildfair’s transformation into its current state began in 1934 when it was reimagined by Elizabeth Wolcott Elkins and her husband, Harry Bowly Hollins III. Today, the estate reflects a timeless Colonial style, featuring its original stone farmhouse and expertly designed modern architectural enhancements. Wildfair isn’t just a house; it’s a narrative of innovation, artistry, and the lives it has touched throughout generations.
What to Expect at Mansion in May 2025
Mansion in May, hosted by the Women’s Association for Morristown Medical Center (WAMMC), returns to captivate visitors with its signature Designer Showhouse and Gardens event. This exceptional fundraiser bridges interior and landscape design with historical architecture, attracting over 22,000 attendees to marvel at the revitalization of estates such as Wildfair.
Every detail of Wildfair will be brought to life by the creative minds of renowned designers and landscapers, blending timeless elegance with contemporary inspiration. Visitors will enjoy self-guided tours, curated boutique shopping, and the scenic ambiance of the gardens. It’s an event that goes beyond aesthetics, providing a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the future of healthcare.
