Homes Sought for Historic Tour

(La Porte, IN) - Another historic home or two are sought for this year’s Christmas Candlelight Tour of Historic Homes in La Porte.

 

This will the 30th year for the tour hosted by Preserve Historic La Porte.

 

Tour Chairperson Pam Ruminski said houses on the tour need to be high-styled, mid-century modern homes that are at least 50 years old.   Homes on the tour are typically at least 100 years old  

 

Owners of homes on the tour will have the history of their dwellings thoroughly researched and documented.

 

"To open your home to fellow members of our community, and tourists from the region, is truly an uplifting experience, and a great honor for our past tour homeowners,” Ruminski said.

 

Homeowners on the tour are also provided the keepsake of a professional artist's pen and ink rendering of their home and are recognized at a dinner gathering of all tour workers and volunteers on December 7.

 

The tours this year are December 6th from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and the December 7th from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
