For forty years (1940s to 1970s), the Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn family celebrated Christmas at Glencairn with a concert, a large three-part Nativity scene, a decorated tree that reached beyond the second-floor balcony, and a Christmas day meal. This one-hour guided tour visits five different floors, including the tower and main bedroom suite. Your guide will take you on a journey back through time to explore how the Pitcairn family celebrated Christmas in their 20th-century castle.

Access to the World Nativities exhibition is included with Christmas in the Castle, either before or after your tour.

Join us on this 60-minute tour, which will leave you experiencing the joy and warmth of Christmas!

Drawing on Scandinavian folklore, Karen Loccisano and R. Michael Palan handcrafted this scene, which is on the Christmas in the Castle tour. It was partially inspired by a tomtar (elves) scene given to the Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn family in the 1920s by a Swedish friend, which is also on the tour.
