Deck the Halls: Amherst Village House Tour Returns Saturday

An annual holiday tradition in Amherst Village is just two days away and six homeowners are busily preparing for this year's Amherst Village House Tour.

Stroll through Amherst Village on Saturday, Dec. 14 and tour six historic homes that have been decked out for the holidays by the homeowners and professional florists. The homes vary in style and size and offer visitors the opportunity to see how they've been modernized in a way to maintain their character and integrity and to learn about the history of the homes.

All six homes are within easy walking distance, but courtesy vans are available at the Wilkins Elementary School parking lot to bring visitors on the tour.

Participants can also take part in a lunch prepared by Moulton’s Market at the Congregational Church. Lunch tickets must be purchased by Dec. 7 and will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Tickets for the tour cost $30 in advance and $40 the day of the event. Lunch tickets are an additional $10. The tour runs from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

This event will be held regardless of weather and tickets are non-refundable.
