“BERKS COUNTY TOUR”

Saturday, November 16, 2024

Enjoy a guided, historic tour of Fonthill Castle, the 1908 historic home of archaeologist Henry Chapman Mercer, and discover the renowned artifacts showcasing his collection of tiles and prints from around the world – all inside this unique castle.

Joyce Byers, an amateur artist with a degree in fashion design, first created the Byer’s Choice Carolers on her dining room table in the 1960s. Since then, the iconic Caroler figurines have reached worldwide fame. Each Caroler is meticulously handmade at their Pennsylvania facility. Today, you’ll start with a short film about the company’s history inside a Victorian theater. Next, walk down a cobblestone street scene straight out of Dickens’ London and peer through the windows of shops and homes filled with Christmas displays. Then onto the museum with hundreds of Carolers and Kindles on display in heartwarming vignettes, as well as depictions of Christmas traditions from around the world.

Visit Peddlers Village featuring 70 quality specialty shops and restaurants among winding brick pathways.

$159.00 per person ~ $25 pp dep
