Civil War Santa Tours at Shippen Manor Museum. Always popular with the museum's younger visitors, this Santa encourages questions about his unique costume, and imparts an informative presentation on what Christmas was like during the Civil War years. Children are welcome to sit on the lap of Civil War Santa to whisper holiday wishes. Reservations are not required, except for scout troops and other groups, who should call in advance to schedule their visit. Suggested donation: $3/adult.
