Salem, Massachusetts
It may be most widely known as the site of the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692, but this colorful, coastal city has much to offer both residents and visitors: a culturally diverse population, a rich maritime heritage, an impressive display of historic architecture and amazing stories that span almost four centuries.
Plimoth Plantation
Find yourself immersed in the year 1627, just seven years after the voyage of the Mayflower. In the village you will be surrounded by the modest timber-framed houses, fragrant raised-bed gardens, well-tended livestock and fascinating townspeople of Plymouth Colony, the first permanent English settlement in New England.
A Christmas Story House
Is now restored to its original movie splendor, and open year round to the public for tours. Directly across the street from the house is the official Christmas Story House Museum, which features original props, costumes and memorabilia from the film, as well as rare behind-the-scenes photos and a gift shop.
The National Christmas Center
Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, the National Christmas Center is dedicated to preserving and sharing precious mementos – and memories – of Christmas, past and present, near and far. Twelve main galleries and numerous, ever-changing smaller exhibits bring the holiday to life for guests of all ages.
Christkindl Market
Modeled after the open-air markets held throughout Germany during the Christmas Season, Christkindlmarkt Bethlehem is a holiday event for the whole family featuring 75 artisans from across the country, live holiday music, food, children's rides and activities and jolly, old St. Nicholas.
Koziar's Christmas Village
A modern marvel of our times is the only way to describe Christmas Village. The magnificent spectacle attracts thousands of tourists each year who come to view the more than one-half million Christmas lights adorning buildings, gift barns, and landscape.
