Early Victorian Christmas at Blandwood

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

Explore Blandwood to learn about evolving 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.
