Newtown Historic Association Holiday Open House Tour

NOTE: On the day of the tour you must pick up your tour booklet (which gets you into the houses) at the Stocking Works, 301 S. State St., Newtown or the Half-moon Inn, 105 Court St., Newtown.

On Saturday, December 3rd, celebrate the beauty of the season with the Newtown Historic Association's holiday house tour. Now in its 59th year, this tour gives visitors the opportunity to peek into several of Newtown's unique private residences, all dressed for the holidays.

Besides the private homes, there will be multiple public buildings open for visitors. All sites are within easy walking distance from the town center.

The $35 cost of a tour ticket ($30 for NHA members) also includes entry into the Half-moon Inn, home to the Newtown Historic Association. Once inside this beautifully restored 18th century building, tour goers will enjoy period musical entertainment, hearthside colonial cooking demonstrations and more.

New Member Special: 1 NHA Membership + 1 House Tour Ticket for $50 -- a savings of $10 if purchased separately. Membership will be good through April of 2024.

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.

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