Heritage Alliance hosts exclusive tour at Christmas Church Stroll

The Heritage Alliance will provide an exclusive tour of Tennessee's Oldest Town following the Jonesborough Christmas Church Stroll. CONTRIBUTED In conjunction with the Town of Jonesborough's annual Christmas Church Stroll event, the Heritage Alliance invites the community to take a deeper look inside the history of local churches. At 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 20, the community will have the opportunity to join the Heritage Alliance for a special edition of the Jonesborough tour, focused entirely on the history of local churches and the communities they've served for generations, according to a press release from the Town of Jonesborough. From early meeting houses to the architectural treasures that grace Main Street today, this guided walking tour will explore how church congregations helped shape Jonesborough's cultural and social landscape. Along the way, participants will discover stories of resilience and service along with historical information about the buildings themselves. Tickets for the one-time tour can be purchased at the Chester Inn Museum. Space is limited, and the tour is weather-dependent, so guests are encouraged to plan and dress appropriately for the season. The walking tour offers the perfect complement to Jonesborough's Strolling Church Tour, providing a historical lens through which to view the town's most cherished places of worship, according to the release. The program continues the Heritage Alliance's mission to share the stories and spaces that make Jonesborough a place where history lives.
