Event Details

Hello all! The Paris Hill Holiday House Tours are this Friday and Saturday!


If you purchased your tickets online or at the Tribune, please proceed to the Paris Hill Baptist Church at 500 Paris Hill Road to check in and get your map and ticket.


If you plan to purchase day-of tickets please proceed to the Paris Hill Academy Building at 1 Academy Rd. All day of sales are cash or check only - and $30 for the tour and $10 for the luncheon. There will be a line - so we do recommend ordering ahead of time if possible! Tickets are still available at The Tribune on Main St in Norway and online until 8PM Thursday evening at http://parishill.org/holidaytickets 


If you pre-purchased just the house tour and want to add the luncheon option, luncheon tickets will be available at the Baptist Church when checking in, cash or check only.


There is plenty of parking around Hannibal Hamlin Dr, the church and the golf course public parking.


This is a walking tour - self guided and self paced. Each house involved in the tour will have a number on the map and a corresponding number in their yard. The map includes a brief history, year built and owner for each property as well as your ticket for each house.


The couple of inches of fresh snow is adding to the holiday spirit - but please dress appropriately as there are limited sidewalks available. Shoes can stay on in each house but please take care to clean them off as best as you can before going in!


Restrooms are available at a number of the houses and all of the public buildings, these are also denoted on the map.


All the houses and public buildings are in close proximity to each other and we suggest parking once and walking the rest of the tour. If walking is not an option there is limited street parking at the houses. The tour stops cluster into 2 groups of houses and one of public buildings so we suggest parking once at each location.  


The house tours begin at 10am and runs through 4pm each day. You are welcome to arrive at anytime you like and proceed in any order you like. Staff will suggest paths to minimize congestion at check in.


The luncheon is served from 11-2 at the Paris Hill Academy. Coffee and Tea will be also be available for purchase starting at 9am each day at the Academy as well.


Should you have any questions or issues please email [email protected], facebook message https://www.facebook.com/parishillmaine/ or call (207) 274-7611 and leave a voicemail.


Thanks so much for your support of the Paris Hill Community Club/Paris Hill Academy - and we look forward to seeing you on Friday or Saturday!



Join the residents of the historic Paris Hill village on December 6th or December 7th while they open their holiday decorated homes for tours! With many of the houses on Paris Hill dating back well into the 1800s or earlier, what better way to kick off the holidays and get in the spirit! 


All proceeds from both the house tours and the luncheon event benefit the Paris Hill Academy (A 501c3 nonprofit) which has undergone extensive structural renovations over the last year.


House Tour tickets for either day are $25 for advance purchase before November 22nd and $30 after. An available add on luncheon is available each day for an additional $10.
