A Christmas Story House Open For Tours

You'll be happy to know that the house where A Christmas Story was filmed looks exactly as it did in the classic 80's holiday film. But it wasn't easy...

Apparently, after the film's release, the original owners re-modeled everything in order to keep fans away. It didn't work. Fortunately, the next owner (Brian Jones, who snapped it up from eBay in 2004) was a huge Story buff, spending almost a quarter of a million to faithfully return the house to its original look. The house sports the iconic leg lamp in the front window, and a 1937 Oldsmobile in the driveway! Across the street is a Christmas Story museum where you can pick up souvenirs.
