Join us this holiday season for one of four special Nacimiento Open Houses that offer a unique opportunity to see the site’s collection of more than 200 nativities. The events will take place on Saturdays and Sundays, Dec. 13, 14, 20, & 21, 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Visitors can take a self-guided tour around the historic home and see the nativities arranged throughout different rooms. These nativity scenes were collected through the years by the Taylor family and represent a variety of artistic expressions and cultures from around the world. Volunteers will be available during the open-house events to share more about the nativities, providing a special experience.
Admission is $15 for adults and $5 for children 16 and younger.
