Lambertville Historical Society (LHS) will host its 33rd Autumn House Tour on Sunday, Oct. 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Seven homes will be featured this year, as well as several additional sites, including a home that served as a symbol of entrepreneurial success in its day, a secluded cottage, and handsome structures that were the mainstay of 19th century Lambertville. Other tour high points are a grand 1890s stone church, and a museum of fire memorabilia.

Tickets are $20 in advance ($25 on the day of the tour, $20 for LHS members), and may be purchased online, or at the Marshall House, 60 Bridge Street (weekends 1-4 pm), or directly from Blue Raccoon, City Market, Homestead Farm Market, Lambertville Trading Company, River Queen Artisans Gallery, Phillipsโ€™ Fine Wines in Stockton, and Farleyโ€™s Bookshop in New Hope.

Free parking and shuttle bus service will be available on the day of the tour. The bus will continuously loop from the Lambertville-New Hope Rescue Squad parking lot, behind the headquarters at 70 Alexander Avenue (off of Phillip-Barber Road), and on to City Hall every 15 minutes from 10:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Visitors can also park in residential areas or at parking meters that are in effect on Sunday from 1 to 9 p.m.
