Shippen Manor's special holiday tours include hourly reserved tours (11am, 12pm, 1pm) and open walk-throughs (2pm until closing at 4pm).
All reservation-only tours are filled as of 11/25/25.
Tours are limited to 10-12 visitors per hour. Visitors can contact Gina Rosseland to reserve a space in one of the hourly tours after November 3rd.
For those who attend the open walk-throughs, they can see the building decorated for the holidays and if they have been good all year, may visit with our Victorian-era St. Nick! Visitors may take photos with St. Nick for free during the open walk-through hours (2pm, closing at 4pm).
If the weather is unfavorable, this event will be cancelled and not rescheduled. All reservations will be notified and our Facebook (Shippen Manor) will be updated.
ADA notification: The museum has a boardwalk access to the museum entrance (2nd door), which also serves as our exit for this program. When calling for reservations, please let Gina know if you or someone in your party is in a wheelchair or uses a walker so that she can ensure the areas the tour will move through will be free of obstacles. We also have assistive listening devices available for visitors with hearing impairments. Please request when making your reservation.

We will have the Belvidere Ave. parking (including two h/c parking spaces closest to the boardwalk) and our back parking lot open. There is limited parking on site. Please do not block cars in. If there are no available spaces, you can park in town (Washington Ave., past the stone Methodist church) and walk over.
Family friendly.
Free admission.
Donations accepted by Friends of Shippen.
