Do you need a great stocking stuffer idea??

Or maybe a gift for someone who has it all...

"Christmas in Southport"

A collection of Special Christmas Ornaments

New in 2011

The Walker-Pyke House

Just $10 each

Great for:

• Family
• Friends
• Co-workers
• Stocking Stuffers    
• Collectors
• Souvenirs
• Customer Gifts
• Client Gifts

The Southport Lions Club/Foundation is introducing the Walker-Pyke house as the 2011 addition to the “Christmas in Southport” ornament collection which began in 2002.  This is the 10^th ornament in the collection of various historic places of interest which are featured in the “Self-Guided Walking Tour” brochure designed by the late Donald K. Johnson for the Southport Historical Society.  This brochure is given out to visitors who want to learn more about the history of this town.

The Walker-Pyke house is probably the oldest surviving house in Southport, built between 1800 and 1820 and is located at the corner of E. Bay Street and Atlantic Avenue.  The house features a clipped gable roof with 3 dormers, and porches on both the first and second floors.  More details on the house may be found in the insert that comes with each ornament.

The ornaments are solid pewter and manufactured by the Woodbury Pewter Company in Woodbury, CT. 

Ornaments from the previous 9 years are still available and displayed elsewhere in the Visitor Center.
