On Sunday, October 21, 2007, the Lambertville Historical Society will sponsor the 25th Annual Lambertville Historic House Tour. Homes and historic sites are open from 11 am to 5 pm and provide unique insights into the town’s history, preservation and contemporary use. We have included homes that span the wide range of architectural styles including an 1896 Italianate Victorian, a 1904 Colonial Revival, an 1873 Federal vernacular home, an 1887 Queen Ann Victorian, an 1873 Victorian Cottage Style home and an 1873 Italianate home.

Additional sites include an 1867 Federal mansion now functioning as an elegant B&B, a Romanesque Revival church started in 1865, and a tour and exhibit at the 1812-1830 Lilly Mansion that now serves as the Lambertville Public Library. We also include both the Marshall House Museum and the Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead that provide unique views of our rich past life.

Tickets for the event are $15 in advance and may be purchased at participating local town merchants listed below. Tickets are also available from the Marshall House Museum, 60 Bridge Street, from 1 pm-4 pm on weekends. Ticket may be ordered by mail before October 12.
