Sewanee Holiday Home Tour on Saturday


Amy Burns of Sewanee displays two of her family’s vintage Christmas hand-hooked wool pieces made by her aunt, Dorothy Loney of Chattanooga, that will be part of the Sewanee Woman’s Club Holiday Home Tour on Dec. 8. 


The Seawanee Woman’s Club is hosting its second annual Holiday Home Tour, 2–6 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8. Guests are invited to enjoy five private Sewanee homes, the exclusive Templeton Library and beautiful All Saints’ Chapel, all decorated for the holiday season.

This is a self-guided tour, with hostesses at each home. The homes on the tour this year are: Marge Wagner (Templeton Library, 730 Templeton Way); Alleen Cater and Lyle Hohnke (121 Sherwood Trail); Amy and Bob Burns (39 John Allin Drive); Joan and Michael Hurst (49 Roark’s Cove Road); Virginia and Chip Craighill (97 Roark’s Cove Road); and Bobbye and Joe Ballard (290 Clara’s Point Road). The tour ends at 5 p.m. at All Saints’ Chapel, when Ken Taylor of Taylor’s Mercantile explains how he coordinates the “greening of the Chapel” for the Lessons and Carols service.

The cost for the tour is $15 per person, and proceeds will be used to benefit local charities. Tickets are available at Taylor’s Mercantile in Sewanee, Citizen’s State Bank in Monteagle and Tea on the Mountain in Tracy City. Tickets will also be available that day at each home.
