Holiday History Tour
Downtown Hawley
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The 2023 History Tour will feature four venues which are typically either closed to the public, or are open on a very limited basis. From exquisite moldings, massive doors, and sweeping stairs to a simple yet memorable (and mysterious) structure which bespeaks of the nation’s early days when farming and self sufficiency played a pivotal role in everyday life, to an adaptive use of an Arts & Crafts influenced homestead where the sweet fragrance of baking fills the air, to the home and host of a service organization responsible for ceremonial, patriotic, and community activities – these will be the featured venues when the Holiday History Tour returns to Hawley Winterfest 2023. All will be festively decorated for the holidays and the storied past of each will be interpreted by its owners/gatekeepers. Don’t miss this unique opportunity! Tickets are $20 available in advance at Teeters’ Furniture, B. Madigan Jewelry & Gifts, and WeJo Arts.
