On Saturday, December 7th, celebrate the beauty of the season with the Newtown Historic Association’s (NHA) Holiday House Tour. Now in its 61st year, this tour gives visitors the opportunity to peek into several of Newtown’s unique private residences, all dressed up for the holidays!
The streets of Newtown Borough will be alive with the sounds of the season as tour-goers make their way to the six town residences on this year’s tour. Besides the private homes, there will be several public buildings open for visitors. All sites are within easy walking distance from the town center.
The cost of the tour ticket also includes entry into the Half-moon Inn, home of the Newtown Historic Association. Once inside this beautifully restored 18th Century building, tour-goers will enjoy period musical entertainment and hearthside colonial cooking demonstrations.
Tour hours are from 10 am to 4 pm. Advance tickets can be purchased for $30 for members and $35 for non-members at the Newtown Book Exchange (cash or check only), 102 South State Street and online at: www.newtownhistoric.org/events/annual-holiday-open-house-tour/.
Tickets can be purchased on the day of the tour, December 7th, for $40 at the Half- moon Inn, 105 Court Street and the Stocking Works, 301 South State St. in Newtown.
