Take your group to see "that big house on the hill"visible from I-97 near the Crownsville exit. This gracious 20-room house from the 1850s is now home to the Springhill Center for Family Development, hosts of the third annual CHRISTMAS HOUSE DESIGNER SHOWCASE.

Getting there is half the fun when everyone travels by the Holly Trolley! If you have at least 15 people, we'll come to your home or office, take you to see the Christmas House, and bring you back again. Leave the driving to us! We provide curb service from your house to the Christmas House.

Consider gathering at a restaurant or community center for ample parking.

Allow about 90 minutes to comfortably tour the house, shop in the vendor boutiques, and enjoy a little something from the cafe, plus traveling time to and from the house in Millersville.

$29 tickets include transportation and admission to the Christmas House. 15-person minimum guarantee required. The group leader goes for free. Your trolley seats 23 passengers, or up to 46 passengers if chartering two trolleys.

The Christmas House is open December 1 - 16. Open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 12 noon to 5 p.m. Closed Mondays. Other hours may be available to groups; please inquire.
