Homes for the Holidays in historic Fort Scott

Lyons Twin Mansions on the Prairie are all dressed up for the holidays and open for tour Saturday December 8 & Sunday December 9! Bring your friends to visit our 1870’s Victorian Treasure in historic Fort Scott, Kansas

After more than 130 years, the Twin Mansions on the Prairie are back in the caring, protective hands of one family. Larry Lyons and Nate Lyons’ families embrace the Twin Mansions and continue to restore and protect this one of a kind architectural treasure. Nate & his daughter Addison share their “new” home to enrich our guests’ Bed & Breakfast stay by broadening the amenities offered to achieve the ultimate, full service destination for business & leisure travelers. Larry & Miss Pat’s legendary style and Southern hospitality combine well with Nate’s temperate masculine approach and keen business sense as the family team strives to evolve the Twins to their height of glory. Come and enjoy this glimpse into history and into our future filled with magnificent possibilities.

The Twin Mansions on the Prairie dominated the landscape in the 1870’s regally perched atop the highest rise on the Prairie a full mile from the safety of the Fort. Today the rugged distance is subtly softened by trees, lovely homes, brick streets and the easy transportation of automobiles. Suitable furnished for large & small gatherings, the Twin Mansions await to serve their guests.

As a business entity, Lyons’ Twin Mansions of Fort Scott present very contemporary amenities enveloped in the grandeur of Italianate architecture and elegant comforts of Victorian finery. Twins indeed - each with a distinct personality and expression of function. The combination of purpose of the Twin Mansions, Lyons’ Private Cottage and the White House creates the definitive location for business & leisure, capturing lodging, meeting space, dining & celebrating on three shady acres with off street parking.

It is with joy that our two families open our homes this year for Fort Scott’s Homes for the Holidays tour. This is the first time ever that the Twin Mansions have been open together for a community tour.
