One of the Top Ten Pennsylvania Attractions!
Christmas Village, in
its 59 year history, has received
many awards ~ the most recent being Best Outdoor Christmas Display in the
World (Display World magazine). A trip through Koziar's Christmas Village
is, in the words of the song, like "Walking in a Winter Wonderland."
William
M. Koziar, the creator of Christmas Village, began decorating his home
and property in 1948 for the pleasure he and his wife, Grace, and their
four children derived from the unusual display. People appreciated and
applauded the beauty of the Koziar home and began to refer to it as the
"Christmas House."
Mr. Koziar added new and unique items and
lighted displays to the original layout each year. He began decorating
the lake, walkways, trees, fences, and buildings, as well as continually adding
to the barn and house. By popular demand visitors were granted access
to the premises for a closer look. Thus, Koziar's "Christmas House"
became known as Koziar's "Christmas Village."
