I know where I'm taking my dad for his birthday next year (huge christmas story fan) The town apparently does a convention about the movie every year. It would be pretty cool to see that. |

Info on how you can visit the house: www.achristmasstoryhouse.com/In addition to the conventions, there have been eBay auctions for the opportunity to spend Christmas Eve and Day in the house. Now THAT would be cool. |

I guess I'll actually have to break down and take pictures here. do you live there? I live in the actual city the story was based in. I pass by the house at least once a week; the place we get gas is practically spittin' distance from it. (And for old time's sake, they do put the leg lamp in the window.) It's still a residential house, no museum or anything. |

I live in the actual city the story was based in. I pass by the house at least once a week; the place we get gas is practically spittin' distance from it. (And for old time's sake, they do put the leg lamp in the window.) It's still a residential house, no museum or anything. I suggest you watch the video. I was interested to find out a bulk of the movie was filmed in Toronto. Also check out the documentary "Road Trip For Ralphie" www.roadtripforralphie.com/“Road Trip for Ralphie” is the story of two mega-fans of the classic holiday movie A Christmas Story and their journey to discover all the film’s shooting locations. Scenes Visit Ralphie's school 25 years later Rescue Miss Shields' chalkboard from the dumpster Recreate the famous flagpole scene in the same school yard Track down the antique fire truck that saved Flick Tour the Toronto film studio where the movie was made Discover Ralphie's screen-used Red Rider air rifle at small-town museum Recover the actual movie costumes found buried in a Toronto warehouse Ride one of the vintage red trolleys seen in the movie Stand first in line on opening day of A Christmas Story houseCheck out Cleveland's historic Higbees and Public Square Solve the mystery of where Chop Suey Palace was located Discover the bridge where Ralphie says the F-dash-dash-dash word Step backstage of A Christmas Story: The Play  |
