want to decorate a room?

Since 1994, citizens, organizations, and businesses have partnered with the Campbell Museums to decorate the historic Ainsley House for the holidays.  There is no cost to participate other than additional decorations you wish to provide for your room. The Ainsley House provides each decorator with a pre-lit Christmas tree (some rooms have multiple trees.) We also provide an assortment of decorations for decorators to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis.  

 

Registration forms are due by October 1st, 2025, but room selections are first-come, first-served, so sign up early! 

 

UPDATE: All room have been reserved! Holiday tours begin November 13th and our decorators cannot wait for you to see their interpretation of "Santa's Village."​​
