Take a tour through historic Pennypacker Mills for an unforgettable Victorian Christmas experience! Guests can expect to see Pennsylvania Governor Samuel's mansion with displays of vintage styled decorations, children’s toys, holiday foods in the Dining Room, and stories of how the Pennypacker family celebrated the holidays.

This year, visitors see period-style Christmas ornaments and decorations used throughout the mansion, including Victorian scrap images, hand-blown glass, pressed foil Dresdens, spun glass ornaments, and glass beads, which gave decorations of the time period sparkle and glow at a time when electricity was not available yet.

Pre-reservation for guided tours is required and must be confirmed by a staff member. The tours takes about 1 hour and the last tour begins at 3 pm. A maximum of 10 people for group tours is allowed. Masks and social distancing are required. Photographs without flash are permitted.

Holiday Tour hours are as follows:
Tuesday-Saturday: 10 am to 4 pm
Sunday: 1 pm to 4 pm
