Thanksgiving in the Country

 The house tours began in 1973 to benefit the Cleft Palate Unit of Children's Hospital in Philadelphia.  Here, infants, children and young adults are able to have the needed facial surgery performed.  No child is denied treatment because of financial circumstances.  The hospital relies on private donations and fund raising activities like "Thanksgiving in the Country" house tours.

 This annual event usually is held the first weekend in November and along with the house tour, includes a complimentary tea, a country style lunch, and craft demonstration.
