The Bethlehem Historic District Association’s (BHDA) Holiday House Tour returns for the 11th time on December 14 between 10 AM and 4 PM. The tour this year features 10 unique Historic District homes, as well as other distinctive sites within the Historic District. The beauty of the homes festively decorated along with the many holiday activities, dining & shopping options within Bethlehem add appeal to this Holiday event!
This is a self-guided tour, rain or shine, which can be visited in any order you wish. Please be sure to finish the tour by 4 PM.
Check-in for the tour is at 424 Center Street (formerly the Unitarian Universalist Church) where you can pick-up your Tour Book and map.
Tickets this year support not only the BHDA, but also Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites and the Bethlehem Area Public Library.
