Please join Preservation Burlington for its 2016 Homes Tour Sat., June 4, 12-4 pm.
This year’s tour features an eclectic mix of Burlington’s historic homes. Come and tour the home of Vermont’s Episcopal Bishop, a 120-year-old Tudor Revival style structure tucked away on the shore of Lake Champlain. Also see a stately, mid-19th century brick Federal style home on South Union Street — recent winner of Preservation Burlington’s Historic Preservation Award for residential properties — as well as the Hill Section home and studio of artist Diane Gabriel. New this year, local contractors who have worked on several of the homes will be available to discuss the restoration projects. With six homes to see in all, our 2016 Homes Tour has much to offer. You’ll take delight in finely decorated interiors and inspiring landscapes and gardens.
The tour is self-guided with the help of numerous volunteers from the community. Light refreshments and reception during the tour will be hosted at the Bishop’s House at 9 Rock Point Road. The Homes Tour is Preservation Burlington’s biggest fundraising event. Proceeds from the tour will go towards the organization’s many other educational programs. Tickets are available at the Flynn Center Box Office (www.flynntix.org) for $20. For more information, go to:

We are also looking for volunteers to assist with the tour. Volunteers will have free admission to the homes for half of the tour. If interested in volunteering, or for more information, email Matt Viens at mlviens@comcast.net.
