Welcome to The Holiday Tour of Homes. Everyone will need to check-in at the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center (Tour Headquarters) located at 434 South Main Street, Madison, GA 30650 before embarking on the tour. Once you arrive at the MMCC, you will be given your tour sticker, which serves as your admittance to the homes, and your tour map. Check-in for the Day Tours begins at 10am, but you can check-in anytime during tour hours. If you plan to attend the Candlelight Tour on Friday evening, you may arrive at the MMCC to retrieve your tour sticker and map beginning at 5pm.

The Day Tour is from 10 AM to 4 PM on December 2 and December 3 and the Candlelight Tour is from 5 PM to 9 PM on December 2. The tour is at your leisure; make sure you plan accordingly based on your needs.

Remember to wear comfortable shoes and plan clothing based on weather forecasts. If you drive to get closer to locations, please park in designated parking lots which are marked on the tour map and do not block driveways or intersections.
