These are the 2007 Houses to Tour
Taft House	This large Victorian house on Academy Street was built by the Thomas Taft family, who settled in nearby Tafton in Pike County. The cream-colored structure features an expansive wrap-around porch, bay windows, and an elaborate cupola on top.
River Street House	The original Victorian-Gothic Revival style home was built around 1880 and added onto in the 1920’s. The house with its original wood floors and steeply pitched gable has a rich history and has been lovingly restored by the current owners.
Prospect Street House	An American Foursquare home built in the 1920’s, its simple boxy shape, hipped roof with central dormer, and built-in Craftsman-style woodwork are reminiscent of architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Prairie Style” houses.
Highland Street House	The Highland Street House: The bottom of this blue colonial house, built in 1869, was built of triple plank construction and the top of double plank, requiring no nails to be used. It's similar to the symmetrical, orderly style prevalent in Colonial America.
