Historic Homes on Tour

Waterford Homes Tour & Crafts Exhibit

October 2, 3 & 4, 2009
10 am to 5 pm

Waterford House TourFamilies in Waterford, Virginia, live modern lives in old houses. Many Waterford residents live with hand-dug wells, low ceilings, and no air-conditioning or cable TV. Each day during the Homes Tour, some villagers open their homes to visitors. Docents welcome you and speak about the history, architecture and furnishings of these dwellings. Village houses date from the late eighteenth century through the federal and Victorian periods and into the twentieth century.

Homes and buildings that originally were businesses have been restored and renovated for twenty-first century living. Docents will introduce you to the cast of colorful characters who once inhabited these fascinating houses. They were Quakers and staunch abolitionists, slave-owners, merchants, artisans, freed slaves, warriors, and idealists. Three centuries of life in a unique American village will tell the back-story to your visit to the Waterford Fair.

Tours are included in the ticket price.
