Trees of Historic Bethlehem – Architectural Design

Includes admission to Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts, Moravian Museum of Bethlehem and Single Sisters’ House, the Luckenbach Mill.  

Immerse yourself in the spirit of the holidays as you visit some of Bethlehem’s most popular historic sites to explore this family-friendly exhibit that’s perfect for all ages.

A popular attraction for guests from near and far, Trees of Historic Bethlehem features 20-plus Christmas trees beautifully decorated by members of the local Bethlehem Garden Club and sponsored by small businesses from throughout the community.  

The 2026 Trees of Historic Bethlehem will take visitors on a journey through the ages of architectural design. From the elaborate ornamentation of the Victorian Period to the geometric structures of Brutalism, this season’s trees will reflect the innovations and artistic styles known throughout architectural history. Between the three sites, visitors will see trees designed in the iconic styles of Neoclassism, Gothic, Rococo, Art Nouveau, and many more; combining rich decorative arts history and holiday cheer. Visit all three sites and vote for your favorite at the end!

Trees of Historic Bethlehem is a self-guided tour and admission includes access to the Moravian Museum of Bethlehem housed in the 1741 Gemeinhaus, the oldest building in the city; the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts, one of only 15 decorative arts museums in the nation, and a putz display at the Single Sisters’ House.
