A History of Christmas Exhibit

Open November 15 through January 15

A History of Christmas explores the rich and varied history of Christmas in America beginning in 1820 and ending in 1920. Four rooms in the North House Museum represent each time period. The informal living room is the stage of the 1820s Christmas, when there was hardly any celebration at all; however, a plum pudding waits to be eaten on the dining table. The formal parlor hosts the Victorian Christmas, where a tree adorns a tabletop and presents wait to be opened. In the dining room, you will find a Civil War Christmas complete with Confederate flags, displaying Greenbrier County's Southern allegiance, and a stocking on the mantel waiting for Santa Claus. Finally, the exhibit ends where it began in the sun room with a 1920s Christmas, the holiday as we know and love it today. Free admission.
