Step into the charm of a Victorian Christmas with festive decorations inspired by the Tuttle family’s time here. Discover our special display on the origins and traditions of the Victorian holiday season.

The Naugatuck High School Jazz Band will perform from 2 pm to 3 pm. Take in the holiday music or explore the museum at your leisure. Snacks and refreshments will be available to enjoy while you mingle and make new holiday memories.

From 3 pm to 5 pm, Santa will be by our reception fireplace, dressed in a traditional Victorian Santa suit. Feel free to take photos; our volunteers will be happy to assist. Kids can enjoy holiday-themed coloring activities and a scavenger hunt featuring a delightful Department 59 Dickens’ Village display.

Our museum store will be open throughout the event, offering a selection of unique gifts, including new arrivals. We accept cash, cards, and checks.

This event is free and open to the public. We look forward to celebrating the season with you!

If you can’t make it to this event, Santa will return for photos on Saturday, December 14, and Saturday, December 21, from 1 pm to 3 pm. Festive decorations, the scavenger hunt, and special museum store items will be available throughout December during Saturday museum hours.
