Governor Wolf Historical Society will hold its 37th annual Christmas house tour of historic homes and landmarks 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Dec. 2, starting at the society’s campus, 6600 Jacksonville Road, East Allen Township. This year’s theme is “Coverlets - A Warm Christmas,” featuring a display of early woven coverlets from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The campus will be open 9 a.m. for a free 1800s historic family day. Donations are accepted. The campus will be filled with 1800s-costumed craftspeople doing hearth cooking, presenting ancient herbs and their use and demonstrating early Fraktur painting.

There will be displays of a large 1800s woven jacquard coverlet and earlier overshot coverlets throughout the three buildings on the site, many dated and signed by early local weavers.

The Daily Grind Café will be open in the Monocacy School, offering soups, snacks and lunches to eat there or take with you on the tour.

Seven private homes are featured on the tour this year, plus four other historic structures.

Tour tickets are available in advance at Bath Drug, 310 S. Walnut St.; S. Seem Antiques & Artisans, 100 S. Chestnut St., Bath; Miller Supply Ace Hardware, Route 329 and Savage Road, Northampton; Curt’s Cyclery, 182 Bath Pike, Nazareth; and Snow Goose Gallery, 470 Main St., Bethlehem.
