Holiday House Tour
in the
Historic Somerset Hills
Rescheduled for 2010
To coincide with the grand 250th anniversary of Bernards Township, the 2009 Holiday House Tour will take place in 2010, not 2009 as originally planned.
While a tradition for decades, we hope perhaps you'll consider another local historic tradition, the Colonial Christmas at the Jacobus Vanderveer House in Bedminster, which will be holding a four day series of events before the holidays. Click Here to learn more.
We certainly hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and please come back and visit us online again soon.
