Early Victorian Christmas at Blandwood

The Early Victorian Period in Greensboro was one of growth and change, as education and industrial opportunities brought new faiths and customs to our city. During this period, holiday traditions grew and changed as modest “backwoods” practices began to embrace national and international celebrations.

Explore Blandwood to learn about mid-nineteenth century holiday traditions. The mansion is fully decorated in local and period greenery, as if prepared for a grand Christmas Ball! Guided tours are offered during museum hours, and group tours are encouraged.

Blandwood will be closed November 9-11 to decorate for Christmas.

We will open for Christmas tours on November 12 and be fully decorated for the Christmas season through December 31st.

Normal tour hours and admission will apply. The museum will be closed Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. Open on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve!
