It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and that’s certainly the case if you’re at the Enchanted Village in Avon.

Tucked inside Jordan’s Furniture, this free attraction provides nostalgic fun for the whole family. Older friends and relatives might remember the days when the village was on display at the Downtown Crossing location of Jordan Marsh.

The department store closed the village in 1972 and it wasn’t accessible to the public again until 1990.

Jordan Marsh was taken over by Macy's.
That means a whole generation of Bostonians missed out on this charming tradition!

Since then, the Enchanted Village has been in several different locations until landing at its forever home – Jordan’s Furniture in Avon. (Despite the similar name, the company isn’t tied to Jordan Marsh).
Wander past the village scenes, which have been restored to their former glory.
