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.

This holiday season, we will celebrate as we imagine Julia and Charlotte Isham would have in the 1950s and 60s as the Isham-Terry House is transformed into a mid-century delight! Enjoy colored trees, tons of tinsel, and starbursts galore during special tours of the house. Enjoy Vince Guaraldi’s holiday classics from A Charlie Brown Christmas, featuring the Andrew Wilcox Trio. Children’s activities during the performance will help little ones get into the groove. Tours at 1 & 3 pm; performance at 2 pm.
