Open Houses and Tours

Old House Society has organized and sponsored House Tours for more than 20 years to help people visit, understand, and develop an understanding and appreciation for our local historic homes. In addition the OHS sponsors individual open houses throughout the year whereby members open their houses so others can see and appreciate their preservation efforts. Previous open houses and tours are listed below.
