From our workshop in Middlebury, Vermont, we make American pewter inspired by ancient craft and modern day design. We create beautiful objects — rooted in simplicity and functionality — designed to be used: Christmas ornaments passed down through generations, oil lamps to light cozy homes, jewelry to adorn the everyday.

National Harbor

Reviewed By Bobbystwocentsworth - Gaithersburg, United States

National Harbor is the perfect location for a extended family Christmas staycation. Having our families meet and stay a few days and nights at the Residence Inn across from the Gaylord where lots of indoor Christmas and holiday activities for children and those young at heart take place.was perfect. The children enjoyed the outdoor movie with blankets to use and free popcorn was a bonus. There are plenty of restaurants and hotels to chose from as well for every palette and budget. Cheap eat hamburgers to expensive steaks and everything on between. During the Christmas time weekend the Gaylord was packed with families having a festive time. The sidewalks throughout National Harbor were crowded as well. However, there is plenty’s of parking garages reasonably price for a tourist area. Christmas lights are around the area as well. Then to top it off after the outdoors movie. Fireworks were set off above the Waters of the Potomac River. If you and your family are looking for a great time locally this is a perfect place for a Staycation. If you like to gamble MGM is within site of National Harbor. With a quick shuffle ride you will be there.
