This year the Olympia Historical Society & Bigelow House Museum is proud to announce that the popular annual Holiday Tour of Historic Homes returns to Olympia and South Sound.
The event is set for Sunday December 8th from noon to 4:00 pm. As in the past, we feature five beautifully preserved residences in the South Capitol Neighborhood Historic District.
Your tour ticket also gives you admission to the annual open house at the Bigelow House Museum. Here you will enjoy touring the museum that will be decorated for the season, listen to pianist Jean Kuehn play the Steinway grand piano, and indulge in treats and hot beverages.
Tour tickets are $35 and support OHS & BHM programs and events throughout the year as well as our ongoing work to preserve the Bigelow House for future generations.
Tickets are now being sold at three locations around town including Childhood’s End Gallery and Drees in downtown Olympia as well as Thompson’s Furniture and Gifts in Tumwater. Cash or check only are accepted at these venues.
Tickets will also be sold on the day of the tour at the Coach House behind the Lord Mansion at 211 21st Avenue SW as well as at the Bigelow House. Cash, check, and credit cards will be accepted.
It is a pleasure to thank our many generous sponsors of the tour. You will find their logos on your ticket.
