A Christmas Story House & Museum

Fact Sheet

 

Overview

The house used in the popular holiday classic “A Christmas Story” has been restored to its original 1983 movie appearance. Purchased and renovated by Brian Jones, a true fan of the movie who sells leg lamps for a living, the house takes visitors on a nostalgic journey to the sights and scenes where Ralphie Parker dreams of receiving a genuine Red Ryder carbine-action, 200-shot, range model Air Rifle for Christmas.

 

In addition to A Christmas Story House, visitors can explore the museum and gift shop, where items from the movie are on display, more than 100 behind-the-scenes photos are featured and movie-related memorabilia can be purchased.

 

Location

A Christmas Story House is located in Cleveland, just five minutes from downtown in the Tremont neighborhood. Just look for the leg lamp in the front living room window (it’s a major award).
