The Mount Tabor Historical Society welcomes back visitors for a special, reimagined COVID-safe self-guided Tour taking place on Saturday, rain or shine from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm.
This walkable tour of the Mount Tabor Historic District allows visitors to experience the unique qualities of this historic community through its exuberant Victorian gingerbread porches and charming cottage gardens. As an added bonus, a limited number of house interiors will be open for viewing. This tour highlights some of Mount Tabor’s most delightful and unique “hidden gardens” and showcases a variety of garden types, plants, and settings. Sit a spell and enjoy the view from select period porches and see how they help define the character of our community. Porches and gardens can be visited in any order at any time during the event window, allowing guests to go at their own pace.
Additional features include a furnished replica Camp Meeting Tent and the Richardson History House, a camp meeting cottage museum. A quilt show will be displayed in the historic Tabernacle. Stop by the gift shop, which is stocked with Mount Tabor souvenirs and vintage items. Box lunches are available for pre-order only. Printed tour booklets with the self-guided map can be picked up, or purchased day-of, at the check-in table located at the Old Firehouse on Simpson Avenue.
Advance Tickets are $25 per person, or $35 with a box lunch, via online order or mailed check. Tickets also can be purchased for $30 on the day of the Tour. For advance tickets, information about the community, photos, and directions, visit http://mounttabornj.org or call 973-975-0001.
This event is the largest fundraiser for the Mount Tabor Historical Society. The non-profit organization puts all event proceeds back into the community through beautification, educational, and preservation projects, including the restoration of the Richardson History House.
