Popular Christmas House Tour and Market Return
by Deanna Bertrand
It was a busy weekend around the Migration Hall with the return of its Christmas House Tour and Christmas Vendors Market.
On Saturday alone an estimated 400 people visited the nine decorated homes and businesses on this year’s tour which had a two-year hiatus because of the Covid-19 pandemic. All proceeds from the tour are used by the board of directors to improve and maintain Migration Hall.
One of the homes featured on the tour was Estate of Health located at 101 Mill St. West. The six-acre estate has a long history in Kingsville dating back to 1856 when it was first built by Lieutenant Colonel James King.
Today the home features many modern updates throughout, along with preserved traditional staircases, and also serves as a Holistic Wellness Centre, Yoga Studio and Day Spa.
Another popular home on this year’s Kingsville House Tour was the Woodbridge House, a heritage home since 1881, located at 608 Seacliff Dr. The two-story Victorian home is now owned by Michael and Corrine Ross and Sergio and Denise Braga and serves as an overnight destination for area visitors. The seasonal décor in this home was created by Lisa Mc- Cracken from The Crafty Nest and Alice Nohra. Dining room décor was by Elegant Touch Chair Covers and Linen Rentals, Kingsville.
