Typically, the houses are selected for their historic value as well as architectural details that are significant of the period when they were built. Tour participants receive a map of the locations with descriptions of each house for a self guided tour. After the tour, pictures and descriptions of the houses will be available in the Archive section of our website. See note below regarding access to the Archive section.
