A tradition for many families at the start of December in Scottdale is taking part in the Scottdale Historical Society Christmas House Tour. While we are disappointed that we couldn’t offer our regular in-person tour once again, we wanted to offer you the chance to view our 2020 Holiday Traditions video incase you missed it last year!
The Scottdale Historical Society’s Holiday Traditions tour is a virtual tour that will take you to 12 homes in and around Scottdale, showing homeowners unique holiday collections, decor, holiday lights, train displays and much more!
Our traditional Christmas House Tour is one of our biggest fundraising events of the year and allows us to maintain the historic Loucks Homestead as well as continue the preservation of Scottdale’s rich cultural and industrial history.
When making your purchase of the virtual Holiday Traditions Tour, you will be provided with a unique video link that has a limited number of views. Do not share this link with others as it is directly tied to your email account and once all views are used, it will no longer work.
We do have a set minimum price of $15 to access the video, but ask that you consider making an additional donation if you plan to watch this video with family.
This virtual video tour lasts nearly 1 hour and 20 minutes, so cozy up to your favorite device with your family and enjoy the Holiday Traditions Tour!
Important Information
The virtual Holiday Traditions Tour is on sale and available to view Now through January 2, 2022.
Again, there are a limited number of views tied to your unique video link. Once you click the link to the tour in your email confirmation, that counts as a view. If you start watching, and close your web browser before completing the video, that’s another view.
Once the video link in the email confirmation has been clicked, you will be directed to the live Holiday Traditions Tour video. You can pause, rewind and fast forward if there is something you missed and wanted to see again.
