Historic Homes Holiday Tour
November 19 and 20, 2010

We are proud to sponsor this tour of historic homes in the Old North End of Colorado Springs.  Each year, we showcase several homes that have been decorated for the holidays, many over 100 years old.  Homeowners in this distinguished area have been generous enough to allow people to take a tour of their homes to help us raise money for The Salvation Army.  Homes feature historic tour information, baked items, refreshments, music and a gift shop.  This is the perfect event to spend with friends!

Tickets go on sale in late October.  Purchase your ticket before November 18th and get it for $20 per person.  Beginning on November 18th, tickets must be purchased at the door and will be $25.00 per person.
