Annual
Spring Tour of Homes
March
30 and 31, 2012
Please join us for an enchanting
weekend in Historic Washington for the annual Washington Spring Tour of
Homes. The weekend will begin on Friday evening with the
romantic Candlelight Tour. Stroll down our lovely streets while you
visit private homes decked out in the full-bloom beauty of the Piedmont
Spring!
Friday evening, there will be at
least five private homes open to you to visit and chat with the owners
about the history of Washington.
On Saturday, a whole
different selection of homes will be open for you to tour.
(Washington Plantation was included in this tour many times through the
years.) One great thing about the Spring Tour is that you can leave
your car in the driveway and be chauffeured around to all the houses by
Tour volunteers!
It's
truly a wonderful weekend in Washington. Let Washington Plantation
be your tour headquarters! For folks coming for the Tour, we'll
offer a 10% discount when we see your tickets.
