The New Castle Historical Society proudly announces its “Castles of New Castle” Annual House Tour to be held Thursday, May 19, 2016 from 9:30 am until 2:30 pm. The New Castle Historical Society, located in the Horace Greeley House Museum in Chappaqua, is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of New Castle. All proceeds raised from this event help the Society to fulfill its mission of historical discovery, education, community outreach, and research. The NCHS is a member supported organization, which relies on the generosity of its members and private donors to further its mission and stewardship of the Horace Greeley House.
Since the Town of New Castle’s incorporation in 1791, its residents have been beneficiaries of its rich and varied history. This dynamic history is reflected in the houses and residences that the people of New Castle call home. Evidence of the town’s early rural Quaker past to its present life as a thriving suburban hub – can be seen in the various homes featured on the tour.
House Tour ticket-holders will also have the opportunity to dine at the Chappaqua Tavern, Crabtree’s Kittle House, Chappaqua Station, Old Stone Trattoria, Le Jardin du Roi, Local, Sherry B’s, and Quaker Hill Tavern for a 15 % discount with their House Tour ticket on the day of the Tour. Tickets for the tour are $50 for members and $75 for non-members of the Society. Tickets may be purchased on the Society’s website at www.newcastlehs.org or in-person at the Horace Greeley House Museum, 100 King St. Chappaqua, New York.
All proceeds from the House Tour will benefit the New Castle Historical Society. If you have any questions, please visit www.newcastlehs.org or contact Cassie Ward at Cassie Ward: director@newcastlehs.org or238-4666.
