Four Waterford-area homes that have never opened their doors for a public tour will do so this weekend, as part of a two-day Holiday Weekend featuring a gift market, holiday crafts, and a ticketed walk through five decorated properties.
The Holiday Gift Market will feature handcrafted items, local gift vendors, and baked goods.
Santa Photos, Barbecue, and a Basket Raffle
Beyond shopping, the weekend will feature a gift basket raffle, photos with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and a children's corner with crafts and stories. Zoos BBQ will serve barbecue, while Jade Winery will offer adult beverages.
Five Homes, Four of Them New to the Tour
The ticketed centerpiece of the weekend is a walk through five Waterford-area homes, four of which have never before been open for the tour.
The Eagle Hotel, a stagecoach-era inn in Waterford, was built in 1826, according to WJET/WFXP.
A Previous Home Tour
The Fort LeBoeuf Historical Society held a Jingle Bells Holiday House Tour November 17 through 19, 2017, featuring five of Waterford's historic homes in a self-guided format that began at the Society's Judson House Museum, according to Erie Yesterday. The 2017 tour included a Chinese auction with goodie baskets, a 50-50 drawing, and light refreshments at every stop, with tickets priced at $15 in advance or $20 at the door, per the same report.
