Always held the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
There are 9 houses on the tour. This is a self tour so you decide which houses you want to see and how long you want to stay. We will have some of our old favorites such as the Shaw House and the Meredith/Clayton Home. See Judge Showwalter’s house now that it has been restored. For those interested in architectural structure we have a restored Sears Bungalow and a Gusto Stickly home. The Stone House or “Petra Dumas” is back for this tour.
