Best bet: Historic downtown home tour

Friday, May 6, 2011

Old Town Cape has recruited homeowners downtown to once again open their doors to visitors and show off why living downtown is desirable. The second Downtown Historic Home and Garden Tour will be from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. Organizers set up the tour to be walkable for most people. Homes this year spread from Pacific to Spanish streets. The tour raises money for Old Town Cape and its projects. The owners of each home will be present during the tour and will highlight special features and historic facts about their home. Tickets can be purchased for $15 before Saturday at Old Town Cape, Annie Laurie's Antiques and Spanish Street Mercantile. The day of the tour, tickets will be sold at the Glenn House and will cost $20.
