Historic Holiday Charm at Pottsgrove Manor
Step back in time at this beautifully preserved 18th-century home where holiday traditions are brought to life in remarkable detail. Beginning late November, the manor opens its doors for its annual “Twelfth Night Holiday Tours,” inviting guests to explore how the Potts family of yesteryear celebrated the holidays—complete with period decorations, candlelight ambience, and stories of customs like Boxing Day and merrymaking by the hearth. This is a warm, reflective outing perfect for families and history buffs alike—just bring a cozy layer and a spirit of curiosity.
A Ride with Santa at Carousel at Pottstown
On December 13 from noon to 2 p.m., Santa stops by the Carousel at Pottstown to make holiday magic come alive. Guests can share wishes, snap photos, and of course take a spin on the restored wooden horses at this charming downtown landmark. It’s ideal for younger children or anyone hoping to capture a whimsical holiday moment—and the vintage carousel atmosphere adds a nostalgic touch.
