Enchanted Colonial Christmas Village


Merry Christmas to all!

It's nice to find that the Enchanted Christmas Village we remember now resides at the Please Touch Museum which, by the way, now resides an Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park. Perfect place for both. For those unfamiliar, Memorial Hall was the main exhibition space for the 1876 International Centennial  Exhibition. In Philadelphia.

The Village made Lit Brothers, one of the major department stores in Philadelphia, an annual destination.
Lit Brothers. Seventh & Market Streets. 1936.
