Our exquisite Victorian Holiday House returns! This year, discover Travels & Traditions, a festive celebration of holiday customs from around the world, inspired by the Grundy Family’s travels! Each room features festive displays from the United States, England, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, and more!
Delight in the Victorian splendor of the Grundy Mansion, beautifully decorated for the season with magnificent Christmas trees. Each room offers a glimpse into the unique holiday traditions, decorations, and customs of different countries and regions, bringing the spirit of Christmas and celebrations from around the world into this historic home in Bristol Borough in Pennsylvania.
Each Christmas tree is lovingly decorated by the Museum’s staff, volunteers, and designer Jimmy Bason Gilpatrick, along with his team from Bird of Paradise Flowers on Mill Street.
