This very special tour invites you into beautifully decorated homes to kick off your holiday season. In addition to the beautiful historic homes that are often open to the public, this tour offers the opportunity to visit lovely, historic private homes that are not open to the public as museum houses. Four homes will be open on High Street including a stunning Row House and an Egyptian Revival House, along with the very unique Trapezium House around the corner, a lovely 1910 house, and Second Presbyterian Church on West Washington Street, a wonderful apartment above The Farmers Bank and the Archibald Graham McIlwaine House. While in Old Towne, also visit the Petersburg Area Art League to see the festive and always fun Trees of Christmas exhibit.
