This year’s tour spans several neighborhoods in Bethlehem, with additional stops in Upper Bucks County. Homes on the lineup include a mid-century property, a restored early 1800s house along Monocacy Creek and other residences that reflect how the area has developed over time.

In Upper Bucks County, the tour extends to historic locations such as the Jacob Uhler House, along with nearby 19th-century properties and the Durham Mill and Furnace, tying in elements of the region’s early industrial and Revolutionary-era history.

Among the featured stops is the home of Christian F. Martin IV, part of the family behind C.F. Martin & Co.
