RESERVE YOUR TICKETS NOW
FOR HISTORICAL HOME TOUR

Please mark your calendar for Sunday, Sept. 21, from 1-5 p.m. for the Terrace Park Historical Society's first-ever house tour.

Owners of six of this community's historic homes have graciously agreed to welcome you inside for a look at what they've done - and are doing - to preserve history while adapting space for today's lifestyle.

TPHS thanks our hosts and hostesses at each location.

Tourists will want to stop by the Community Building, too. Local historian Carol C. Cole will be available to discuss a display that features not only the six tour sites but many other notable community residences. Lee Cole will be there to share information about the village building survey. In addition, there will be TPHS membership information; Terrace Park note cards and other items for sale; order forms for the society's historic homes plaque program and refreshments.

It is suggested tourists stroll from house-to-house or travel via bicycle or some other means to avoid parking congestion. This will make parking spots available to tourists who are less mobile. Tractor-drawn haywagons will offer tourists the opportunity to "hop on-hop off" as they stop at the open houses along the tour route.

Tickets purchased in advance will be $15 each and will include entry into prize drawings for gift baskets.  Tickets will be sold on tour day at the Community Building and will be $20 each without entry into the drawings.

Tickets may be purchased in advance by mailing a check payable to TPHS to the Terrace Park Historical Society, P.O. Box 3, Terrace Park, OH 45174, or by dropping a check off with Lorrie Hill, 305 New Street, or Laurie Baird, 203 Marietta Avenue. Advance purchase tickets will be available for pick-up at the will-call desk in the Community Building beginning at 12:30 p.m. the day of the event. Board members will also deliver tickets within Terrace Park.

Proceeds will support the society's historic homes plaque program.

TPHS members are asked to volunteer to help with the tour. By donating two hours of service that day, each volunteer may purchase a ticket for just $5. To volunteer call Lorrie Hill at 831-7775.
