Historic Oakwood, Raleigh, NC
- ORDER EARLY - TICKET QUANTITY IS LIMITED -
Join us for a walk through history this holiday season during one of Raleigh's oldest Christmas traditions, the Historic Oakwood Candlelight Tour. Walk the tree lined streets and tour INSIDE ten properties, from century-old Victorian homes to charming bungalows, decorated for the holidays. Each home is staffed with interior docents to enlighten you on the rich history of the property and community. You can view our GALLERY pages for a glimpse into past tours.
You will tour the properties at your own pace, in any order and can start at any time after 1PM. We do suggest allowing a minimum of 3-4 hours to visit all the properties. Time to complete the tour varies on crowds, houses, walking distances/speed, and weather.
ADVANCE PURCHASE IS REQUIRED. Ticket quantities are limited and recent years have sold out far in advance.
PLEASE NOTE: CHECK-IN IS REQUIRED. You will exchange your online ticket voucher for an actual Tour Ticket & Map on the day of the tour when checking in at The Tucker House, 418 N. Person Street. If you have a group, only one person is needed to check-in all the ticket vouchers.
Tickets are not tax-deductible. If you are unable to use your ticket, your purchase price will be considered a donation to the SPHO. Re-entry into tour properties is not allowed.
