Last year in 2021 was the 1st year this center was open in it's new but temporary location. It used to be located in Paradise, PA and it was there for almost 20 years, closing in 2018. Stone Gables Estate, a huge venue in Elizabethtown which is in the NE part of Lancaster County, bought the entire collection and with the help of the founder of the original store, Jim Morrison, re-opened this amazing collection of all things Christmas. Both David Abel, the steward of Stone Gables Estate and Jim Morrison, have a passion to tell the story of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ.
This collection includes both secular and religious artifacts, collectables and traditions. It is quite a sight to behold.
