Lits joined its fellow Center City department stores in presenting a Christmas season exhibit when, in 1961, it opened the Enchanted Colonial Village.
The Village, designed by Philadelphia display designer Thomas Comerford, cost approximately $1 million.
It was built by German toy manufacturer Christian Hofmann of Bad Rodach, West Germany.
This room-by-room display of a colonial-era Christmas ran each year from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve, and remained until the final Christmas season in 1976.
The exhibit itself was bought from liquidators for $35,000 by the Sun Oil Company, who later donated it to the Atwater Kent Museum.
It has since been restored, and (since 2001) sections are displayed around the holiday season at the Please Touch Museum.
The Please Touch Museum donated the entire Lit Brothers Enchanted Colonial Village to the American Treasure Tour Museum in Oaks, PA.
 As of December 2019, the American Treasure Tour Museum is in the process of rebuilding the entire display and featuring it as a permanent part of their collection.
