Tour historical homes in Dundas this holiday season

If you like admiring beautifully decorated homes during Christmas time, the annual Dundas Holiday House Tour is the perfect weekend activity for you.

Six historical homes as well as modern ones are part of this year's event. A recently renovated home located on Park Street West in Dundas, built before 1873 in a cottage style and a British Tudor-style home built in the late 1980s located on Park Street East are part of the tour.

Each residence is decorated for Christmas by the homeowner.

The tour is sponsored by St. James Anglican Church, located at 137 Melville St. in Dundas. Tea and refreshments will be available in the church parlour.

A Christmas market will also happen at St. James before the tour. Baked goods, preserves and handcrafted items made by local artisans can be purchased at the church. All proceeds will go toward supporting St. James' ministries.
