HISTORICAL HOUSE TOUR: BOYERTOWN PA


My parents enjoyed the evening.

On Friday, December 6th I attended the Boyertown Historical Holiday tour - a 2-day event. In the past, I have been on other tours in other townships but think I have found my new favorite. 



And to think it was right in my own neck of the woods!

The weather was perfectly chilled for a December evening, cool and a bit blustery but our hearts were warmed by opening doors and welcoming smiles. 

Numerous businesses and homes participated.

People touring with us were in a festive mood.  Houses popped in color and displays. The homeowners were kindhearted and loved sharing the history of their homes. Treats were plentiful. Hot chocolate a must. I enjoyed the yummy cheeses and wine. Then of course, there was the shuttle buses toting us around – most welcome for my weary feet. The drivers were thoughtful and most had Christmas music echoing throughout the drive.

The Festival of Trees stood out, memorable for the beautifully displayed trees also raffled off at the end of the event. (The Boyertown Area Multi-Service sponsored this charity event.)

All-in-all, it was an enjoyable evening – one I eagerly look forward to repeating next season!

Here are a few highlights from our tour.
