Historic Home Tour - Is taking a hiatus in 2010

The Ladd's Addition Historic Home Tour is an event that has been highly anticipated each year. However, it has been more difficult over the past few years to find homeowners interested in participating. So it was decided to give everyone a year off. Hopefully this will result in renewed interest in 2011. If you have any ideas or comments about the historic home tour please send an email to: info[AT]saveourelms.org. Thank you.
