The Magic of Wintertime – at the Pittock Mansion
Celebrate the wonders of the holiday season at The Magic of Wintertime, Pittock Mansion’s annual holiday exhibit. This year more than 80 volunteers will transform the museum into a winter wonderland with decorations inspired by skiing and sledding in new-fallen snow, curling up in front of a fireplace with hot cocoa, and celebrating the holidays with family, friends and community.
