Christmas Candlelight Tour - Beaufort Historic Site
December 13, 2015 |
Tickets are $12 and may be purchased by clicking here or at the Beaufort Historic Site Gift Shop.
The Beaufort Historical Association (BHA) will host the seventh annual Christmas Candlelight Tour Saturday, December 13th from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. The tour showcases Beaufort’s holiday hospitality and provides a rare glimpse into private historic homes, several inns, bed & breakfasts, as well as churches, all elegantly decorated for the season.
Stops on the tour this year include the Front Street Inn, Beaufort Inn, Ann Street Inn, the Inlet Inn and the Beaufort Historic Site’s Josiah Bell House c. 1825, One Harbor Church on Turner St, Ann Street United Methodist Church, Jesse Piver House, c. 1825, now the home of Michele Love; the Roland L. Davis House c. 1920 , home of Paula Stancil; the newly restored home of Eileen Thompson on Marsh Street; and the home of Cindy Carter on Live Oak St. And back by popular demand, Christmas atop “Everest” will be an interesting stop on the Tour as it is an 80’ San Lorenzo motor yacht.
Guests will have the opportunity to stroll through candlelit streets or join the carolers aboard the BHA’s 1967 English double-decker bus for a free ride to their destinations. Maps of the tour and information on the homes will be available at the Beaufort Historic Site’s Welcome Center at 130 Turner Street. In addition, the Beaufort Historic Site and buildings will be open, all decorated for Christmas, for free tours to the public that day from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Those who want to see and learn more about the history of the town can take a narrated tour on the Double-Decker Bus at 11:00 am and 1:30 pm. Tickets for the bus tour are $10 for adults and $5 for children.
An ongoing raffle and silent auction will also be taking place at the Visitors Center, where guests can place bids on a wide variety of items, thanks to the generosity of our Carteret County businesses.
After the tour, head to the Carteret County Library in Beaufort for a special Christmas Concert performed by The Vivaldi Project Trio. The concert, sponsored by the American Music Festival, begins at 8 p.m.
