St. Agatha’s Episcopal Church is hosting their annual historic tour of homes on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023 in DeFuniak Springs. Proceeds will benefit the church’s Preservation Fund, reserved for major repairs of St. Agatha’s three historic structures on Circle Drive.
The homes and businesses selected this year are primarily from circa 1885-1920, the era of the Florida Chautauqua Assembly. They represent historic preservation, planned, in progress or completed. The star of the show might be the restored Sun Bright Manor, slated to be a hotel/bed and breakfast. The Presbyterian and the Episcopal Church (plus its two historic homes) are extra properties shown for your enjoyment. After your tour, the Library, the Museum, the Mistletoe Market, and the Chautauqua Winery are added attractions that visitors should not miss. Then, be sure to see The Festival of Trees (free), in the recently restored Chautauqua Building, and Christmas Reflections (9 million lights and displays in the park surrounding the perfectly round lake). Could you ask for a more exciting outing?
