Find Christmas In Southport

One of the most distinctive shops in Southport is the three-story home built in 1885 that now is the site of The Christmas House. In addition to ornaments, gifts, snowmen, Santas, and all things Yule, an old-fashioned candy store and pirates treasure room are there too. And be sure to visit the unusual flowering “tree” in the courtyard.

Just north of the center of town off North Howe Street you’ll find Franklin Square Park and the Franklin Square Gallery exhibiting art by local and area artists. With its ancient, beautiful and impressive 200-year-old oak trees shading the entire area, visiting the park is a calming trip back into history.
