  F E A T U R E D  STORY
2011 Historic Homes Tour
Friday, March 4, 2011, 10 a.m.

Hurry, tickets are going fast for Naples Historical Society's 2011 Historic Homes Tour! Society Docents will lead special tours from Palm Cottage to three beautifully restored/maintained historic homes, all located in the Naples Historic District (and near the house museum). These homes have not been featured on this tour before.

The interiors of each of the homes are lovely and each tells a wonderful story. The homes are some of the oldest in the District. Where are they? What does each look like? What is its historical significance? All three homes represent the importance and meaning of preservation. Call us to learn more. The 2011 Historic Homes Tour will culminate with an elegant luncheon served with wine in The Norris Gardens at Palm Cottage.

A special Thank You goes to Northern Trust Bank for their Presenting Sponsorship.

Thanks also to our Annual Sponsors, Mary & Stephen B. Smith and Diana & Don Wingard.

Tickets are $200 per person. Event space is limited, so call 239-261-8164 and make your reservation today!

Be a part of history and help by joining our mission to preserve our past for the future. Questions or comments? Send an e-mail to nhs@napleshistoricalsociety.org.
