Since 2011, the yuletide display “An Old-Fashioned Christmas Exhibit: Holiday Traditions through the Years” has been a beloved tradition of Cape May MAC’s festive holiday season.

Hosted at the Carroll Gallery on the grounds of the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, this charming exhibit has welcomed thousands of holiday visitors, both young and old, over the years.

Experience holiday traditions complete with a stately Christmas tree, a Dept. 56 Dickens Village, model trains, nostalgic photos from Christmas past, toys, and much more.

Cape May MAC received a donation in 2009 of an extensive Dept. 56 Dickens Village Collection from Ernie & Betsy Heegard. The collection has become the integral piece in this exhibit.

This special holiday exhibit will run daily from Friday, November 22 through Sunday, January 5.
