This year the Old Allentown House Tour will also feature the adjacent areas of redevelopment in Allentown which will include the Renaissance Hotel, Strata Flats, the Historic Liberty Bell Museum at Zion Reformed Church, Trexler Estate, now the Elias Funeral Home and the stately Americus Hotel. Two trolleys will offer transportation throughout the district to guide guests directly to the sites on tour. The house tour has been held annually since the organization was first formed. During the tour, visitors get to see a variety of interior and gardening styles reflecting the individual tastes of their owners.
