About A Christmas Story House & Museum

Yes, it's the real house from the 1983 movie, restored to look exactly like Ralphie's home and open for tours every day of the year. Pose with the leg lamp, hide under the sink like Randy, and browse original props and costumes in the museum across the street. It's a gloriously fun pilgrimage whether it's December or July.
