The Cottage Hill Candlelight Tour is a Christmas tradition in the Cottage Hill Community. Nearly every year during the month of December residents of Cottage Hill share the charm of their neighborhood with others in the River Region by opening up their historic homes for tour. The Candlelight tour is organized by the Cottage Hill Foundation, which uses the money made from the tour to finance preservation efforts within Cottage Hill. The tour is a huge undertaking for the Foundation as they often spend most of the year planning it. (5)
