Explore 20 magical window installations by artists from up and down the East Coast! Experience the wonder of seasonal art installations in one of America's quaintest historic towns! We've bottled up some magic from our winter garden party and are extending the experience into January.Stroll the grounds of a National Historic Landmark, lit up with twinkling garden paths and illuminated window displays by artists from Delaware, Philadelphia, New York, and Richmond. The 14,000-square-foot Read House was built around 1800 along the cobblestone streets of Old New Castle, steps away from where William Penn first landed in America. It remains one of the finest examples of federal-period architecture. In the 1920s it became a social hub again, complete with its own basement speakeasy, and has turned up in magazines from Town & Country to Mademoiselle. Just 15 minutes from Wilmington and 45 minutes from Philadelphia!
