Join us this year for a unique Christmas Homeschool Day at Cairnwood Estate, co-presented with Glencairn Museum! Cairnwood is the oldest National Historic Landmark in the Bryn Athyn Historic District, completed in 1895 as the home for John and Gertrude Pitcairn. Explore this unique country house estate and learn about the American Gilded Age in a fun-filled day featuring self-directed quests in the Carriage House and Main House, hands-on projects in the Music and Billiard Rooms, and an around-the-world tour of Nativities from the Glencairn Museum collection. Cairnwood is decorated every year with eight Christmas trees and an exhibition of vintage fashions that brings the American Gilded Age in a formal country house to life.
