Homes for the Holidays

Historic Newtown Borough, Bucks County welcomes visitors to its Holiday House Tour on Saturday, December 4th.

Now in its 48th consecutive year, this house tour is a Newtown tradition and a festive start to the holiday season. For the $20.00 cost of a tour ticket, visitors can enjoy Newtown on foot for an up-close look at the interiors of six private homes and several public buildings, all dressed for the holidays.

Included in the cost of the tour is entry to the Half-Moon Inn, a beautifully restored 18th century building and home to the Newtown Historic Association, sponsor of the tour. Inside, tour goers will enjoy period musical entertainment, hearthside colonial cooking demonstrations and refreshments of mulled cider and cheese.

Tour hours are from 10:00AM to 4:00PM. Advance tickets can be purchased at Newtown Hardware, 106 S. State Street and on-line at the Association’s website, www.newtownhistoric.org.
