Chestnut Square Historic Village Presents:
35th Annual Holiday Tour of Homes


When: Saturday, December 6 - Sunday, December 7, 2008 at 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Where: Chestnut Square Historic Village - 315 S. Chestnut Street

The first weekend of December has been The Heritage Guild Holiday Tour of Homes since 1973! The tradition of openning historic homes for a public tour began in 1973 when our founders first opened their homes to raise money to purchase the Dulaney House and cottage and the grounds that eventually became Chestnut Square. Every year five or six homes and historic structures are decorated for Christmas and opened for the tour. The proceeds from tickets sales and an annual raffle are a major component to the ongoing operation of Chestnut Square. Take a peek at last year's tour of homes and watch for this years's tour of home on the Chestnut Square website www.chestnutsquare.com. Tickets will be available in late October throught the website or by calling 972.547.8790. Contact Chestnut Square if you would like to get involved in the tour. There are lots of volunteer opportunties including our Home Tour planning committee, docents for the tour, ticket sales and more! If you'd like to sell ticket at your place of business, call 972.562.8790. If you'd like to learn more about placing your home on the tour call 972.562.8790.
