Tips to getting through tour particularly on Saturday:
🎄We are expecting large crowds so try to be at houses for tours at the start on Thursday at 3:00 and Friday and Saturday at 4:00.
🎄Ride the trolley on Friday and Saturday so you do not need to worry about parking.
🎄If you come on Saturday be prepared for some long lines. If you are spending Thursday or Friday night in Jefferson, consider touring two homes on one night and two homes the second night.
❤️ We want everyone to have the opportunity to view all four properties!
