As you visit these beautiful homes and two places of worship, seven musical groups will be entertaining you on the porches with holiday music.

Docents will be giving guided tours inside these charming properties. At our special “Sugar Plum Treats House” homemade cookies and hot cider will be served.

This year Holly & Ivy will be featuring a “Christmas in the Country” location just minutes from downtown. Walk through this welcoming home sitting on a multi-acreage property, visit with the homeowners and sit a spell on the wrap-around porch listening to a “pickin and grinnin” band.
