If you’re looking for a piece of history this holiday season, the Historical Society of Islip Hamlet will host a Holiday House Tour on Dec. 8. It will be the Historical Society’s 27th year participating in the event. The tour will take place from noon to 5 p.m.

Get into the holiday spirit as tour guides dressed in Victorian attire greet you at each house. The houses are historical and decorated for the holiday season. Be sure to pick up your tour booklet that will feature a description of the homes and their location. They will be available starting at 11 a.m.

There will be a reception at Trinity Lutheran Church at 1 p.m. Visitors can enjoy live entertainment, refreshments, a 50/50 raffle and holiday auction.
