Newtown's Holiday House Tour - A Fa La La Favorite

The Newtown Historic Association's Holiday House Tour returns for its 56th year on Saturday, December 1st.  

An anticipated winter tradition, make it yours and take this self-guided walking tour of the 6 private residences and the 6 public buildings featured this year.   

The $30 cost of a tour ticket also includes entry into the Half-Moon Inn, home to the Newtown Historic Association.  Once inside this beautifully restored 18^th century building, tour goers will enjoy period musical entertainment, hearthside colonial cooking demonstrations and refreshments of mulled cider and cheese.  

Midway through the tour, respite can be found at several of the borough churches hosting lunches at a reasonable cost.  After the tour, dine at one of the restaurants and get a head start on holiday shopping by visiting the shops along State Street.  

Tour hours are from 10:00AM to 4:00PM.  Advance tickets can be purchased at Newtown Book & Record Exchange, 102 S. State Street and on-line at the Association’s website, NHA House Tour.  On the day of the tour, purchase tour tickets at the Half-Moon Inn, 105 Court Street and at the Stocking Works, 301 South State Street, Newtown. 

In the event of major snow, the tour will be held on Sunday, December 2nd. 

Please, no picture taking or high-heeled shoes permitted in the houses.
