The Aylmer-Malahide Museum’s Christmas Tour of Homes by Peri Hayes Larry Jeffery is the ongoing Advertising and Salesperson for the Aylmer-Malahide Museum’s Christmas Tour of Homes, enthusing, “This is the 21st year that the Tour has been held.” This seasonal event debuted in 2001, and with exception to COVID-19, has been facilitated every year since. As Larry proudly describes, “Each year, four unique houses are decorated for Christmas by our talented 12-person Decorating Committee.” This dedicated team has been preparing for several months, with this year’s Tour featuring three private family homes, one model home and the United Church adorned for the holidays.
Afterward, participants are invited to the Museum — also recognized as the fifth location on the Tour — to enjoy door prizes and refreshments. Tickets for Christmas baskets will be purchasable during this time, as well as an opportunity to view their ‘From Farm to Factory’ exhibit. Alongside their guests, Larry looks forward to seeing the homes for the first time -- an eagerly awaited surprise. He shares, “The Tour has done very well the last two years, with about 700 people taking the Tour each year.” Revealing that hundreds of their attendees travel from out of town — and even out of province — Larry expresses his gratitude for the support, both local and beyond: “It helps put Aylmer on the map.” Aylmer-Malahide Museum’s Christmas Tour of Homes occurs on the third weekend of November. This year, the dates and times are as follows: Friday, November 14th, from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm; Saturday, November 15th, from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm; Sunday, November 16th, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Tickets are available for $25.00, with free entry for guests under 12 years of age. Larry highlights that there are one dozen businesses selling tickets throughout Aylmer, in addition to Family Flowers and Lux Salon and Spa in St. Thomas. For those to the east, Tillsonburg Garden Gate is another carrier. “Of course,” Larry assures, “tickets can be purchased online through the Museum’s website, or by phoning the Museum at 519-773-9723.” Visit aylmermuseum.ca/tour-of-homes for further information about this luminous celebration.
