Christmas in Wake Forest 2010

Saturday, Dec. 4, 2010
2:00 p.m. – 8:00pm   

Stroll down the street;
Listen to holiday music;
Ride a horse and buggy;
Visit a decorated home;
And,
Imagine what it must have been like,
At Christmastime,
In years gone by.

The Wake Forest Historic Preservation Commission and the Wake Forest Woman's Club will present their biennial Christmas Historic Home Tour on Saturday, Dec. 4, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approximately 15 homes, churches, and other buildings decorated for the holidays will be open for viewing on this self-guided tour.
