Home Tour Viewing

The theme this year is historical homes. Come listen to stories from people who have been part of the land and community for generations. Others came here as children and now continue the journey to revitalize old forgotten homesteads as adults. Hear the love story of a little cabin that shines so brightly with its new "caretakers". There is even a house that was originally build in three days! Ken Kortge has spent months this spring and summer crafting the tours. He and our dedicated interview crew went to each of the properties to speak with the owners, tour the homes, and record the videos. Ken then went home to work his editing magic, combining the stories and video footage into wonderful and fascinating virtual 'tours' of each property. Ken and many of the home owners will be present at the event for questions. There will be light hors d'oeuvres provided by Vita's and wine for sale. A huge thank you to Ken, who is volunteering his time, and our generous sponsors! The Home Tour is one of Lopez Center's largest fundraisers.
