The Manteo Preservation Trust invites you to the 16th year of the Holiday Tour of Homes!  There is an exciting list of historic and beautiful places that will open their doors to visitors on December 2 from 1-6 pm (rain or shine).  Tickets are $25 and will be sold from 10 a.m., December 2, at the Reception Hall at 108 Budleigh Street in Manteo.  At the Reception Hall artisans from the College of the Albemarle will display their goods for sale so visitors may shop for gifts while purchasing tickets!  This year tickets will also be sold online at Manteopreservationtrust.com during November.

The Tour of Homes takes place on Saturday after the Manteo Christmas Parade, a day after Manteo’s First Friday and tree lighting events, and during the Winter Lights Festival at the Elizabethan Gardens.  On Tour day, several downtown eateries will offer discounts to Tour goers.  It’s a great time to spend a couple of days in Manteo to take advantage of all these activities!
