Explore homes in Colonial Williamsburg, Smithfield, Poquoson decked out for holidays

Williamsburg Regional Visitor Center (101 Visitor Center Drive). They can also be purchased from the homes. More info: greenspringgardenclub.org. Smithfield homes tour Christmas in Smithfield will feature a historic homes tour this Saturday. The tour was a staple in the 1980s, running for 12 straight years before ending in the 1990s, according to Christmas in Smithfield Chairman Lanny Hinson. A high demand of volunteers couldn't be met until last year, when the tour returned to Smithfield. "It takes a village larger than we have," Hinson said. About 100 volunteers are used for this year's tours. A daytime tour will take guests to three homes while a sold-out candelight tour in the evening to three different homes also is planned. Proceeds will go toward the Isle of Wight Courthouse, which is part of the non-profit Preservation Virginia. "It was a real success so we're doing it again this year," Hinson said. "The homeowners have been very gracious to allow to us open up their homes for this one special weekend." Three homes will be featured on the tour, with tickets still available for tours between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tickets for the tour can be purchased ahead of time at the Smithfield Center (220 N. Church Street), where shuttles to the homes will be provided. An antiques show is scheduled to coincide with the tour. The show is scheduled from noon-5 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets for the antique show may be purchased on-site at the Smithfield Center. Poquoson homes tour Poquoson Animal Welfare Sanctuary will host a Coastal Christmas Tour from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. It is the first time PAWS has organized a tour, with the proceeds going toward the shelter. "We thought it'd be fun to resurrect a Christmas homes tour. There's not a lot of them now," said Mary Diggs, the event chair. "We thought we'd give it a shot." Planning for the event began in the spring and was finalized with six homes for the tour. Five of those have views of nearby rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. The other home, Diggs described as the "Santa House," which features 65 Christmas trees and more than 250 Nutcrackers. "I'd pay $20 just to see her home," Diggs said. "It's amazing." Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at poquosonanimalwelfaresanctuary.com, where information on the homes is also available. Tickets can also be bought the day of the vent at Tabernacle United Methodist Church (831 Poquoson Ave). For additional details, call 757-868-1379. Black can be reached by phone at 757-247-4607.
