CHRISTMAS TOUR OF HOMES

The Christmas Tour of Homes is presented by the Quality Hill Neighborhood Association.  All of the homes are at least a century old and decked out in Christmas decor.  The tour is from 4-8 on Saturday and Sunday, December 2nd and 3rd, and tickets are only $25.

Proceeds from the tour go to purchasing new planters for Downtown Texarkana.  Participants are hoping this tour will encourage citizens to save older homes in the area.

This one-hundred-year-old home is owned by Judith and Larry White.  They are active members of Main Street Texarkana and Red Dirt Master Gardeners.

This property was one of the first to have electricity and steam radiators for heating .  The property is now owned by Brent Stewart and Branden O’Neal.The house features red oak hardwood floors and 8 foot pocket doors!
