The docents will provide guided tours inside these charming properties. This year, Holly and Ivy will be featuring the “Magnolia Manor 1843″ as our special “Sugar Plum Treats House”, where homemade cookies will be served.
All net proceeds from this event support college scholarships and contributions to local charitable causes. Due to the community support last year, Holly & Ivy tickets sales were able to provide six scholarships.
Tour Guidance:
- This is a self-guided walking/driving tour. There is no guide or bus.
- You will be met by docents in each house who will share information about the home.
- Your ticket contains your map. Houses are numbered on the map but may be visited in any order.
- Dress for the weather because you may wait in a line outside.
- Wear comfortable shoes. No high heels are permitted as they damage wood floors.
- These are private homes which owners graciously open to the public. Please treat them respectfully and do not touch anything belonging to the homeowners.
- No animals, food, drink, photography, or recording allowed in the private homes.
- This tour is not recommended for young children as most homes contain fragile items.
- Historic homes cannot accommodate strollers or wheelchairs and often have uneven walkways and steep steps. Please use caution. Docents are not permitted to assist mobility for your safety and theirs.
- No smoking, either in houses or while in line outside.
- Please silence all electronic devices while waiting in line outside and during the tour inside the homes.
