Victorian Christmas at Blandwood

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