Castleton Colonial Day House Tour

The Castleton Woman’s Club has sponsored the Colonial Day House Tour for over 75 years. This annual self guided tour features outstanding private homes and historic sites, exhibits of antique tools, carriages, a period clothing collection, displays and demonstrations of Early American crafts. The 2015 event will be held on Saturday, August 15th.

A favorite stop on the tour is the Castleton Federated Church where visitors can see the beautifully carved pulpit, often described as builder Thomas Royal Dake’s architectural masterpiece. 

The Higley House, home of the Castleton Historical Society, will be open and visitors can tour the exhibits, antique tools, carriage collection and period costume and hat displays. On display at the Higley House will be the famous Blue Cat Quilt depicting historic landmarks in town and highlights from the book The Blue Cat of Castleton. 

Homes are open from 10 am to 4 pm. House tour tickets are $20 for adults and  $18 for seniors (65+).  For additional information about Colonial Day, call (802) 468-5691.
