Dicken's 25th Anniversary
In 1984, Neilan Lund
presented the initial drawings for the Dickens'
Village Series to Department 56. He is considered the "Master
Architect" for The Heritage Village Collection as his contributions
laid the foundation for The Dickens' Village Series as well as
New England Village, Alpine Village and the North Pole Series.
Seven shops and a church became
the cornerstone of a series, which grew into a charming assortment of
buildings and accessories, creating a modern decorating tradition.
To commemorate 25 Years of
Dickens' Village, the artists at
Department 56 designed a fresh new series of buildings
based on
the original 1984 introductions.
