The Sippican Woman's Club will hold the 26th annual Holiday House Tour and Tea from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 8.

Proceeds from the Holiday House Tour are used for annual scholarship awards to area students, graduating seniors and college students.

The tour begins at the club's Handy's Tavern, 152 Front Street in Marion. This year is the Tavern's bicentennial, and the club has transformed the tavern to appear as a tavern and inn in a small seaport village 200 years ago. Wassail will be served before proceeding to five homes, each unique and decorated for the holidays in New England.

There is also the tea at St. Gabriel's, corner of Front and South Street. Tea will be served from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. by Sippican Woman's Club members.

Tickets are $18 in advance, available in Marion at Serendipity by the Sea, The Book Stall, and The Marion General Store. In Mattapoisett, tickets may be purchased at Isabelle's in The Ropewalk shops on Route 6. On the day of the tour, tickets may be purchased for $22 at the Coldwell Banker Real Estate office, next to Handy's Tavern.
