The Marble House
Atherston Hall
The Johnson Home
The Cove House
The Carter Home

Tickets are $40 plus tax per person and can be purchased online in advance and day of the event at urbannamainstreet.com/events. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the event for $50 plus tax per person (cash only). Guests will check in at The Carter Home at 130 Watling St. to receive their event materials and begin the tour. Parking is available at Urbanna Baptist Church, 121 Watling St., Urbanna, and street parking throughout the town. This year’s event is a walking tour (no public transportation will be provided), and due to the historic nature of the homes, Urbanna Main Street cannot guarantee ADA access.
The Urbanna Holiday Home Tour is Urbanna Main Street’s largest fundraiser of the year, supporting projects that enhance the town’s vitality and visual appeal, including:
- Public art initiatives such as the Urbanna Mural Project.
- Wayfinding signage improvements.
- Ongoing revitalization and beautification efforts.
- The goal of hiring a part-time Executive Director to expand community impact.
“We’re proud of Urbanna’s history, and we’re just as excited about its future,” said Meghan Hall, president of Urbanna Main Street. “The Holiday Home Tour brings people together to appreciate where we’ve come from while supporting the work we’re doing to keep our town thriving. It reflects who we are — a community rooted in tradition, hospitality, creativity, and a shared vision for what comes next.”
