Odessa DE - Holiday Candlelight Tour - Day Trip From Delaware County PA

Step back into colonial times this holiday season by enjoying a candlelight guided house tour in Odessa, Delaware.  Roughly 40 miles from Delaware County, Pennsylvania, the town of Odessa has a Colonial townscape which is on the National Registry and is home to a National Historic Landmark.

The Holiday Candlelight Tour in Odessa will take you into three homes that are decorated in the flavor of an Old English Christmas as illustrated in a sketch book of Washington Irving.  The details of these homes is amazing and it reproduces the atmosphere down to the detail of the wallpaper and food that might have been served on an early American Christmas holiday table. 

This Holiday Candlelight Tour takes place December 28th from 7-8:30 PM.  Reservations are required. Please call 302-378-4119.

If you enjoy history and enjoy the warm atmosphere of candlelight in the evening, consider taking this tour and know that your visit will help the Historic Odessa Foundation to continue to preserve historic buildings in this quaint colonial town of Odessa.

Gloria - What a wonderfully warm and traditional way to celebrate Christmas.  The circular stone building on the left is fascinating.  What is it?

Hi Li, It is a wonderful place to visit.

Hi Sharon.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too!!

Hi Myrl, That octagon shaped stone building is located in the back of a large home.  It was probably used as a well room or spring house, or a place for cold storage way back when.  It looked wonderful with that wreath on its door.
