Department 56 began as part of Bachman's, a premiere retail florist in Minneapolis. Bachman's used a numbering system to identify each of its departments. The number assigned to wholesale gift imports division was, you guessed it, 56.  Now headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Department 56 is best known for their hand-crafted lighted villages and accessories.

Each year our club provides various activities intended to help members enjoy their own collection(s) more.  These activities have included sharing display photos of personal collections, videos, demonstrations, hands-on activities, and home tours.  Please join us some time soon!
