Now an annual tradition, the Phelps-Hatheway Holiday Walking Tours return to close America’s 250th celebration with newly uncovered stories of our place in the emerging nation. Join our costumed guides as they transport guests to the time before electricity illuminated our homes to see the “grand dames” of this historic thoroughfare festively lit and decorated to celebrate the season. During the walk, you’ll gain insight into the dominant architectural styles of the historic district and hear tales of those who worked the land and supported the community throughout the ages.
