The Candlelight Tour always starts at the Crawford House, 189 Montgomery Street, Newburgh, NY. Start here to collect your guidebook and official sticker which provides information for all the houses on this year's tour and serves as your ticket.

Most years, we aim for between 12-15. These are mainly residences, but can also be newly-renovated buildings, institutions, historic sites and churches in and around the Newburgh area.

While we try to have some houses in the immediate environs of the Crawford House, this is not always possible. We often have houses out in the town of Newburgh and the town of New Windsor, and a car will be necessary to get to them.

Children under 12 are free; for older children, we ask that you also purchase a ticket for them.

Yes, though refund requests must be received at least seven (7) calendar days before the scheduled event. Requests received after that deadline are generally nonrefundable. These events are important fundraisers for us, so please consider that in requesting a refund.

Events will proceed under ordinary winter weather conditions, including light snow or rain. The Newburgh Historical Society may cancel or postpone an event due to severe weather or circumstances affecting the safety of attendees, volunteers, or staff. Announcements will be made on this website and on our social media. If an event is officially canceled by the Newburgh Historical Society, ticket holders will be offered a refund less any nonrecoverable expenses already incurred in preparing for the event.
