Onancock Christmas Homes Tour
December 5th, 2006
The annual Onancock Christmas Homes Tour is this Saturday, the 9th, 2:00 to 6:00 pm. 8 homes in town are on the tour, including historic Kerr Place, built in 1800. Most of the other homes are Victorians from the turn of the century, but one is (maybe) the oldest house in town. Tickets are $15 per person, with all proceeds going to charity. You can buy tickets the day of the event at Kerr Place (Google map).
On Saturday there will also be a free concert of Christmas music at historic Cokesbury Church in Onancock, from 4:00 to 8:00 pm. The roof of this church blew off earlier this year, but it’s now better than ever. The metal roof has been replaced with a historically accurate cedar roof that looks great.
If you’re within driving distance of Onancock, Virginia you should consider taking advantage of these holiday events. Great for anyone who likes to look at houses.
Onancock is a “quaint” tiny waterfront town on the rural Eastern Shore of Virginia. Make a day of it by eating at one of our restaurants (we’ve got 7) and doing some Christmas shopping at the unique shops in town. Stay overnight at one of the bed & breakfasts or the Charlotte Hotel.
My unfinished house obviously isn’t on the tour — but it probably will be next year.
