2012 Holiday Tour of Homes

Saturday & Sunday, December 1 & 2, 2012

Tour Hours:  Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Sunday 12:00 - 5:00 p.m.

The first weekend of December has been The Heritage Guild of Collin County Holiday Tour of Homes since 1973!  The tradition of opening historic homes for a public tour began in 1973 when our founders first opened their homes to raise money to purchase the Dulaney House and cottage and the grounds that eventually became Chestnut Square.

A new home in the historic district with Greek Revival, Antebellum and Plantation Influences.

Every year five or six homes and historic structures are decorated for Christmas and opened for the tour.  The proceeds from ticket sales and an annual raffle are a major component to the ongoing operation of Chestnut Square.  Take a peek at the 2007 tour homes, the 2008 tour homes, the 2009 tour homes, and the 2010 tour homes.
