Candlelight tour scheduled

Newburgh — The Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands will hold its annual Candlelight Tour from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 10. The tour begins at the Captain David Crawford House at 189 Montgomery Street in Newburgh. This 1830’s home, located in the heart of New York State’s largest upstate Historic District, will be decorated inside and out as it would have been in 1840 — using fresh greens, flowers and fruit. Tour participants will receive an illustrated booklet that includes a map of all the sites on the Tour. These include beautifully decorated homes of several historical periods. Participants tour the properties at their own pace, and interaction with hosts is encouraged. At least one dozen properties will be featured. Tickets are available for a $25 donation at the Crawford House on the day of the event or $20 paid in advance. For information call 845-561-2585.
