This is an exceptional walking tour featuring early Avalon homes reflecting pride of ownership. The society is pleased to encourage owners with preserving the lovely homes that are part of the islands’ history.
To date, four homes dating between 1890 through 1952 will be available to tour. See how these early homes are brought into the twenty-first century with unique transformations.
Rose Marie Chew, the chair of the Avalon Historical Society, refers to these early homes as the “Treasures of Avalon”.

Irish Roots
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
A repeat post from 2016:
On my father’s side: my grandmother was born in County Clare in the Republic of Ireland, and my grandfather grew up near Ballymena and the Antrim Coast in Northern Ireland. A real mixed marriage!
They met and married in Philadelphia, and vacationed in Stone Harbor each summer while raising 6 children (pictured in front of their compact rental cottage).
In the 1950s, my grandparents built a modest year round home in Avalon. A family business brought the sons and daughters (including spouses and young children) from Philadelphia to Avalon shortly thereafter.
After visiting the beautiful windswept coast of Northern Ireland, I can totally understand my grandfather’s love of the shore.
Sand in our shoes… and salt air in our lungs 😉
Slainte!
P.S. According to family legend, my grandfather arrived to the United States through Canada. And my grandmother used her older sister’s ID to travel from Ireland to the US. Her grown children didn’t know her real name/age until she applied for Social Security! It’s important and relevant to consider that our family’s immigration history may be softened by nostalgia.
