Discover holiday traditions from the 1800s to the early 20th century, view a full-room scene of Clement Moore’s Christmas classic A Visit from St. Nicholas and be amazed at the evolution of Christmas trees over the decades from the 1880s to 1960s. And, in celebration of the Royal Splendor exhibit, the yuletide tour will re-create trees enjoyed by Queen Victoria’s family at Windsor Castle. 5105 Kennett Pike, Wilmington, DE.
