Pittock Mansion will take visitors on an unforgettable journey through the golden years of the mansion on a decade-themed tour, spanning from the 1910s to the 1950s, when the magnificent mansion was home to the Pittock family across different generations. Visitors will enjoy festive displays across nineteen rooms in the Mansion and four in the Gate Lodge, each artfully decorated to reflect a nesting of five iconic decades — from the 1910s through the 1950s. And you will love the grand foyer — it’s being decorated to wow you.

It’s that time of the year again when one can step into the magic of the season at Portland’s favorite historical home, Pittock Mansion. Experience the warmth, wonder, and nostalgia of timeless holiday stories and traditions, beautifully brought to life throughout the incredible rooms of the Mansion and the charming Gate Lodge.

More than seventy community volunteers and interior designers contribute their time, talent, creativity, and resources to decorate their beloved mansion. This holiday tradition has been ongoing since 1965, when the mansion was restored and reopened to the public. This year’s decorations around the Holiday Classics theme provide glimpses of a variety of holiday celebrations such as A Christmas Tea Party, A White Christmas, A Tropical Christmas, A Tribute to the Royal Women of Versailles, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Holiday Bridal Bunch, A Hawaiian Christmas, Classic French Christmas Eve and more. On select weekends, Santa will be delighting visitors and live musicians and choir performances will add to the holiday mirth. Visitors are encouraged to check the event calendar on the website for schedules of Santa and musical performances. The museum store, featuring a diverse range of merchandise, will enhance the enjoyment of holiday shopping.
