(La Porte, IN) - Organizers of La Porte’s Christmas Candlelight Tour are already laying the groundwork for next year’s event.
The tour returned in December after a three-year hiatus and was a huge success. The halls were decked and open to the public in six historic downtown La Porte homes. As an added bonus, the First United Methodist Church and County Courthouse were also open for exploring.
The tour is a fundraiser for Preserve Historic La Porte, a nonprofit citizens’ group dedicated to historic preservation. Organizers said just under 800 people bought tickets to see the sights.
For those who were unable to attend, there are a limited number of the 48-page tour program books available for free. The books feature background information on the homes and are available through the end of January at the La Porte County Historical Society Museum.
Candlelight Tour organizers are now looking for homes and historic structures to feature in the next tour, which is scheduled for December 7th and 8th, 2024. If you own a historic home in greater La Porte (generally mid-20th century or older) that you would like to have considered for the 2024 tour, you may call or text Pam Ruminski at 219-363-2094, or email her p_ruminski@yahoo.com.
