Visitors to Newburgh's Historic District are awed by its architecture and its views of the Hudson River. For the past three decades, supporters from all over have joined the Newburgh Historical Society in celebrating a treasured architectural history during the annual Candlelight Tour.

The self-guided tour will take place this year on Sunday, December 8, between 12 and 5 p.m. The 1830 Captain David Crawford House, the Society’s headquarters located at 189 Montgomery Street, is the starting place for the Tour.

The house tour features a diverse assortment of public and private spaces within and beyond the City of Newburgh’s East End Historic District. These include some of Newburgh’s most important landmarks, and for the first time some significant and historic homes around Orange Lake.

The Crawford House will be decked out in natural greens and floral arrangements, with wreaths and trees, and period decorations typical of the 19th century.
