                                        to the public for this event. 
Not only will guests have the opportunity to view one
 of our town's true architectural and historic treasures,
they will see it fully decorated for the holiday season.

to  identify the ages of all houses in town.

 



The beautiful Italianate-styled home, circa 1872, was built for Captain William Willey and later became the home of Captain Arthur Elliot.
