ALL ABOUT SAVANNAH'S 2008 HOLIDAY TOUR OF HOMES

**SCENES FROM PREVIOUS TOURS**

Hostess City is Perfect Holiday Destination

As the rotating scenes from previous tours on the left illustrate, Savannah delights in making a big fuss over her guests. And her holiday dress is stunning: a chill in the air; the centuries-old main street awash with lights; stylish shops, award winning restaurants and historic squares preened and decorated for the season.

This is a time when southern hospitality is irrepressible and the gracious people of Savannah welcome visitors into their private residences for the annual Holiday Tour of Historic Homes.

This event has been described as "an intimate visit with residents of Savannah's Historic District." Because the tour is a project of the Downtown Neighborhood Association, the hosts are folks who live in the neighborhood, oftentimes the owners themselves, and they have unique stories to tell about the home's features and history.

Two Different Home Tours to Delight our Guests

This year we are offering two classic self-guided tours of historic Savannah homes in the afternoon and evening.

Guests will receive a complete Tour Program when they pick up their tickets at Tour Headquarters. The program includes maps, directions, and descriptions of all the homes. On duty staff at Tour Headquarters will also be available to assist our guests.

A new feature this year is the "Holiday Boutique". Set up at Tour Headquarters, the boutique provides a unique opportunity to acquire Savannah style holiday decorations. Selected for their classic beauty and long lasting durability, wreaths, table top trees, garlands and other decorative items will be on sale.

Afternoon Tour

The Afternoon Walking Tour of homes begins at noon and includes at least six beautiful historic residences, including a recent winner of Historic Savannah Foundation's "Preservation Award" honoring the quality of the owner's extensive, authentic restoration. Seasonal decorations, reflecting the diversity of the home owners' traditions, will be evident in many homes.

Evening Tour

Our Evening Tour of Homes begins at 5:00 pm, as twilight descends and Savannah's homes, shops and streets are softly lit. At least six homes, all different from those on the afternoon tour, will be open for our guests to enjoy. All of the homes are within walking distance, but trolley service is also included in the evening tour for those who prefer to ride. Through the twilight you may also catch a glimpse of Savannah's elite mounted police. The evening tour ends at 8:00 pm.

For the energetic, we recommend both home tours! You will appreciate how Savannah's beauty evolves as night falls and be able to see all the different residences (twelve or more) featured on this year's Holiday Tour of Homes.
