Holiday candlelight tour

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. 11. The tour will begin at the Captain David Crawford House at 189 Montgomery St. in Newburgh. The opulent 1834 home, located in the heart of the 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, including a map of all the sites, for a self-guided tour that features at least one dozen beautifully decorated homes of several periods. Tickets are available for a $25 donation at the Crawford House on the day of the event or in advance for a $20 donation. For information, call 561-2585. At 6 p.m., “The Laden Table” will be held post-tour in honor of the tour hosts and hostesses. The covered dish supper will be held in the Johnes Home at 11 Balmville Road in Newburgh. Admission is a $5 donation and a dish to share. Required reservations can be made by calling 561-2585.
