LEWES — The Lewes Historical Society will host a Holiday House Tour of Lewes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 2.

The Tour will feature 10 Lewes properties decorated for the holidays. The diverse homes on the tour range from a “Tiny House” showcasing creative use of space along with their collection of Victorian Christmas decorations, to a three-story canal front contemporary home decorated with art, antiques, and delightful Italian crystal chandeliers and wallpaper.

The tour will offer the opportunity to experience one of the oldest houses in Lewes. This home combines three houses that were moved to its current location in the 1960s. The oldest section dates from the late 17th century, partnered with two separate small homes built in the 18th century.

The Holiday House Tour of Lewes allows ticketholders the rare occasion to tour the building that once housed the first bank in Lewes, now restored as close to its 1850 original structure by the current homeowner.

The tour will also feature a pre-1790 cottage with a chef’s kitchen, and two Victorian homes, each restored to their 1902 glory.

Also on the tour is a 1950’s era home with European white oak floors. The Holiday Tour will also include the circa 1739 Maull House and the Children’s Beach House founded by Lydia Chichester du Pont.

Tickets are $35, or $40 if purchased the day of the event based upon availability. A detailed guidebook with descriptions of each property on the tour will serve as the admission ticket and can be picked up at the Lewes Historical Society prior to the tour.

The Lewes Historical Society will be holding its annual Holiday Village & Market in conjunction with the house tour at 110 Shipcarpenter Street from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the same day.

The event will host a variety of food specialty vendors as well as a dozen local artisans selling holiday gifts. Several local farms will be at the Market bringing live alpacas and sheep, along with locally sourced products.

LHS’s traditional greenery and holiday decorations sale will be held and chili will be available until it is sold out. The Holiday Village & Market is free to the public.

Tickets for the tour are limited. For more information or to purchase a ticket visit historiclewes.org.
