Scheduled Events
**Home and building docents will be taking staggered brakes throughout the day. We ask visitors to be patient with these closures. Our volunteers are wonderful but not super-human. They need a bit of time to eat lunch, take a breather, and "freshen" up. If the building you would like to visit is closed, they should be back within 30 minutes. It is also a great time for you to grab lunch and visit the auction while you wait.
