Hearth & Tinsel Home Tour In Historic Palestine
PALESTINE- Historic Palestine is home to some of the oldest architecture in the state, second only to Galveston. The historic home district boasts of beautiful Victorian and Colonial homes of a bygone era. The giant, wooden castles of Palestine will amaze you, and their owners’ efforts to restore and revitalize some of the oldest history in Texas is sure to impress. Step back in time this holiday season, as heritage tourism will be in full swing in Palestine as residents open their historic homes to tourists on December 7.
This year, the Palestine Area Chamber of Commerce has arranged a tour including five historic homes. There are 5 homes on the Tour this Year include:

The trolley will depart at 2:45p.m. just behind the Chamber of Commerce at the corner of Queen Street and W. Oak Street. There is no additional charge for the trolley ride.
