Hillsborough Holiday Tour December , 2017

By Bill Cox

The Hillsborough Holiday Tour was held on December 10^th and the AACA was a big part of it. The local Chamber of Commerce holds an annual home tour where they decorate some of the historic houses with period Christmas decorations and several of them have either music or skits portraying the history of Hillsborough, the state and the nation. There is a charge to enter and there was a train trolley and horse carriage ride.

Hillsborough is a town that played significant parts in the American Revolution as well as other wars or historical events. Many of the homes and structures date back to the 18^th century and are preserved very well. This year, the Chamber was raising funds for the new Vietnam War memorial in Orange County so they had homes from each war era on the tour. Additionally, we were asked to provide vehicles from these periods to represent what time was like for families during each war.

The Alamance Region and the NC Region both participated by providing antique vehicles sitting in front of each house to add to the atmosphere and they were a big hit. I enjoyed the music in a couple of locations and was able to see one of the skits. Otherwise, I was busy getting vehicles in place.

Thanks to all those who were able to participate… if we are invited again, watch for announcements on our webpage or Facebook page.

Happy Motoring!

Bill Cox, President, NC Region
