Historic Oakwood Candlelight Tour

2006 is the 35th Historic Oakwood Candlelight Tour. This year's tour offers 12 homes in Historic Oakwood on December 9 & 10 from 1pm to 7pm. Prices are $15 per person in advance or $20.00 the day of the Tour.

The tour is the major event that the Society for the Preservation of Historic Oakwood has to raise money for the use in the Historic District. The money is used for various improvements of the neighborhood. Every year the tour is on the second weekend of December. All of the homes on tour are decorated for Christmas in their own unique fashion.

Advance ticket sales are throughout Raleigh. You can also go online and purchase them for a $2.00 fee per ticket at E-tix (http://www.etix.com/). This is our first year using E-tix for make purchases for advance sales. When you purchase them via E-tix, you receive a voucher for tickets. To pick up your tickets, take the voucher to The Oakwood Inn Bed & Breakfast on the day of tour and just exchange them for your tickets.

The tickets are more like a brochure, which has a map and location of all the homes and areas of interest on it. This year, we have also purchased the services of Molly the Trolley which is a trolley that will take you on a mobile tour of the area dropping you off at various locations throughout Historic Oakwood. The Tucker House will be open for cookies and refreshments. The Historic Oakwood Cemetery will also be open for tours.

For more information or advance ticket sales, call The Oakwood Inn B & B at 919-832-9712 located at 411 North Bloodworth, Raleigh, NC 27604.

This year (due to previous year's demand) The Oakwood Inn will be opening its upstairs rooms for touring. In previous years it has always been the two downstairs rooms, BUT this year we are opening the upstairs.. something different! We are not sure the upstairs has EVER been open in previous years and if it has been.... it's been at least eight years!

Come and Join us for Fun, Food, and Pleasure! Call for information at 919-832-9712 or go to http://www.historicoakwood.org/, or http://www.oakwoodinnbb.com/.
