Today was Marietta’s Candlelight Tour of Homes and hundreds and hundreds of people, mostly women, ambled the sidewalks of the town all decked out for the holidays. Dozens of decorated homes, businesses and churches welcomed out-of-town guests, visitors and locals into their places.
Yep … that trolley you see is the Columbia Trolley Works trolley either on lease or lend to transport Candlelight Tour guests from one part of town to another.
Marietta’s got a full schedule of events that entice visitors to the town. And a facebook page.


Our house was on Columbia’s tour last year and we got a lovely thank you note from a woman who toured our home. This year, we received a handwritten Christmas card from that same woman (she lives in West York County) saying how “sad” she was that there will not be a tour in Columbia this year. Also sad is that “our” trolley can help Marietta with their tour.
