Step into the holiday spirit and experience the timeless charm of historic DeFuniak Springs with the annual Christmas Tour of Homes, hosted by the St. Agatha's Episcopal Church Preservation Fund. This cherished tradition invites you to explore some of the city's most beautifully decorated historic homes and venues, all while supporting a vital cause.

Event highlights
Explore historic elegance: Tour a selection of 8 to 10 private homes, churches, and businesses decked out in their finest holiday splendor.
Experience living history: The tour includes a variety of special features that bring the city's rich history to life.

Featured this year
We are excited to announce that the historic Pansy Cottage will be on the tour! This charming cottage, built in 1885, was once owned by the popular author Isabella MacDonald Alden, who wrote under the pen name "Pansy". It is the only remaining structure of its kind and is a highlight of the local historic walking tour. Don't miss this unique opportunity to step inside a piece of DeFuniak Springs' rich Chautauqua history!
This beautiful home is now owned by the author of the Manawassa Springs series of mysteries (and other books as well), Alexa Ann Kempson.
Fund a noble cause: All proceeds from ticket sales directly support the St. Agatha's Preservation Fund. This fund is dedicated to the ongoing maintenance and repair of the church's three historic buildings on Circle Drive, which date back to the late 1880s.

Practical information
Getting around: Since the tour homes and attractions are scattered throughout the historic district, a car is recommended.
Tickets and tour maps: Exchange your digital receipt for a ticket lanyard and tour map at the DeFuniak Springs Visitors Center (1162 Circle Drive) on the day of the event.
Tickets: $25 per person.
By attending, you not only create cherished holiday memories but also play a vital role in preserving the architectural heritage of DeFuniak Springs.
