We know that everyone has been waiting for news about the ever-loved festive fundraiser for the Heritage Alliance. Now, more than usual, we need a little Christmas! The Victorian Christmas Social, and will be back in a new way this year for Dec. 7th.

We know you love seeing historic homes, especially when they are decorated to the nines and we have three wonderful locations for you to visit this year!

We are pleased to let you know that the Helvey’s home will be open for a second time. The Chester Inn will be welcoming you to enjoy part of your evening in our Victorian dressed parlor and dining room. And for the first time, the Dossetts will be welcoming you to Sister’s Row, where their renovation and restoration work is ready to be celebrated.

The location you choose for your ticket is your starting venue, where you will be served drinks and bountiful, bespoke hors d’oeuvres, but your ticket purchase includes admission to the additional two homes for dessert and entertainment. You only need to book one ticket at $100 for the evening. You will need to start at the location you book.

The event will begin at 6:00pm and a shuttle will begin running after the savory starters and will run continuously until 9:00pm.

We are excited to welcome you back for Christmas and hope that you will join us in celebrating the holidays in this fundraiser, and in our other programming throughout the season. We appreciate your support for the Heritage Alliance.
