Candlelight is the theme of two
early December tours at the Wyo-
ming Valley’s most historic homes,
the Nathan Denison House and the
Swetland Homestead.
Although candlelight will be
prominent in each of the tours, the
presentations will differ considera-
bly since the Denison House will
offer a glimpse of a colonial Christ-
mas as influenced by the strict
early Puritans, while the Swetland
Homestead will present the festive
Victorian decor of a century later.
Tours of the Swetland Homestead
will be conducted Dec. 14 and 15
from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Dec. 16
from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is
$2 for adults and $1 for children
under 16 at Swetland and $1.50 at
the Denison for adults; with chil-

The historic houses are located
within a mile of each other, the
Swetland Homestead at 885 Wyo-

Nathan Denison House at 35 Deni-

was observed in another time is the
