During the late 19th century, some Pennsylvania Dutch families would create an evergreen bower in their parlor or dining room to display their Christmas ornaments. The bower, which might cover three walls of the room as well as the ceiling, sometimes took the place of a Christmas tree. (Ornaments and late 19th-century German Nativity are on loan from the National Christmas Center and Museum, Lancaster, PA. The ornament pictured represents the Gates of Heaven.)This year Glencairn is offering two Christmas exhibitions: “World Nativities” and "Christmas in Pennsylvania.” And don’t miss our popular "Christmas in the Castle” tour (reservations strongly recommended for this tour, as space is limited). http://ow.ly/Ulflm -- source link
