LeRoy Heritage Museum, Inc. announces that the second annual LeRoy Holly Home Tour will be held December 8, 2007, from 12 noon to 4 p.m.
The tour will feature five historic homes in the community of LeRoy, beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. A variety of activities will also take place at the LeRoy Community Building (school house) during the event.
Tickets will be sold the day of the event. The price of the ticket includes the self-guided tour of the first floor of each home, the opportunity to enter for the chance to win door prizes, and holiday refreshments. In addition, a variety of live musical entertainment such as the Alba Brass will be available throughout the afternoon, as well as craft vendors, the museum gift shop, and a display showing the current renovation work taking place at the museum.
The tour will include two houses that were featured last year plus three new homes. This years participants are Mike & Lisa Miosi, Ron & Angie Kirby, Mark & Laura Crossan and Ron & Ruthie Bly. Each year homeowners use their imaginations and create new and different ways to adorn their homes for the season. As a result, visitors are guaranteed a different experience each year.
The much anticipated LeRoy Holly Home Tour helps fulfill the museum goal of preservation by featuring historic homes that have been or are currently being restored by their owners. It also assists in fulfilling the goal of education by sharing historical facts about each home with visitors. Last years participants were also pleased with the community pride fostered by the event.
The houses that will be featured on the tour are steeped in history. The oldest was built over 150 years ago. Another of the homes was built by one of LeRoy's early doctors, and still another was considered a model of what the ideal farm should look like. One of LeRoy's old hotels, currently undergoing restoration, will also be featured, and visitors will have the opportunity to see the large Victorian ballroom which was a significant source of entertainment in the community 100 years ago.
This special day is also a fundraiser for the LeRoy Heritage Museum, Inc. The museum is currently restoring the former Open Hand Grange in LeRoy which will become a museum and research library covering LeRoy Township and Barclay Mountain history. The facility is on schedule to be completed by the summer of 2008 and events such as the Holly Home Tour are helping to raise the $25,000 that is needed to finish the building.
Laura's This-n-That, located in the center of LeRoy (and featured on the tour), will be contributing 20% of their profit from that day to the museum. This will be a great opportunity to do some Christmas shopping, while benefiting LeRoy Heritage Museum at the same time!
LeRoy Heritage Museum, Inc. is offering businesses the opportunity to sponsor this event. A business name and contact information may be placed in an ad in the Holly Home Tour guide brochure that will be distributed to visitors during the tour. For details about this opportunity, call 570-364-5770 or visit the museum website to download a form.
The Holly Home Tour is just a part of this special holiday weekend in LeRoy. After the tour, visitors will be encouraged to stop at the historic LeRoy General Store to order their dinner. A famous Heritage Cheese Steak may be perfect on a winter day. Later in the evening the LeRoy Independent Baptist Church will feature its popular event entitled, "Bethlehem Boulevard." This is an interactive walking tour of the village of Bethlehem that is built inside the church facility and will be expanded this year with new additions to the town.
