19th Annual Historic Homes Tour
November 3-4
10am-4pm
$40
This year The Historic Homes Tour features the Broadway Historic
District! Five historic homes dating from between 1874 - 1921 feature
unique and harmonious juxtapositions of historic and modern elements.
Back by popular demand, two homes included in previous
tours show off recent renovations and innovations. Garden tours
associated with the homes will also be available. In affiliation with
local artists, three locations on the tour will display artwork for
sale. This is a walking tour and all homes are within
a half-mile route (or one-mile loop).
*Please note that all the homes on this tour have stairs.
Purchase your tickets online today!
Docents and House Captains Needed
Volunteers will receive half-price tickets to the Homes Tour if they
are interested in viewing other homes on the tour. The half-price
tickets are $20. Both morning and afternoon shifts are available for
Saturday (3rd) and Sunday (4th). Shifts are 3 1/2
hours each.
If you or anyone you know are interested please email

new exhibit
It's Personal! Tales Visualized by Asian American Women
October 20 - November 25
The Art Museum
"The Asian American experience as it
pertains to visual art is layered with complexities. Put simply, there
is not one cohesive Asian American aesthetic, language or even
ethnicity. The works in the exhibition speak volumes
and allude to each artist’s individual interpretation of her own Asian
American experience based on her own past history. In the end it is
the hope of this curator to impart a sentiment that suggests we are all
Americans with similar hopes and aspirations
for inclusion and in pursuit of happiness."
- Linda Choy, Curator
art:inFOCUS Lecture! "Dreaming in America: Art as an Asian American Journey" presented by Linda Choy, scholar and curator.
