The Pottstown Area Garden Club will host its annual Holiday House Tour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, offering entry into seven carefully selected tour sites.
The business on this year’s tour is Alabaster Arts and Tea, a newly opened tea room housed in a mid-1800s Victorian home built by Henry Potts. A buffet luncheon will be available for purchase there. Luncheon items will also be offered from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at historic New Hanover Lutheran Church, home to a congregation founded in 1700. The current structure dates to 1768.
Pottstown area homes included on this year’s tour include a 69-year-old farmhouse with a small indoor fishpond, an 1834 Victorian farmhouse, and the former 1880 Knause School, a one-room schoolhouse now converted to modern living. The tour will also take visitors to two Boyertown area locations, a downtown home filled with antiques, period fixtures and unique artwork, and a restored 1859 farmhouse. Tickets for the garden club tour are $12. Partial proceeds benefit the club’s scholarship fund.
