See what eight High River historic homes look like from the inside out! Visitors are once again invited to enjoy the Museum of the Highwood's sixth Historic Homes Tour. Each home featured on the tour is unique and represents very different kinds of preservation and renovation. The homeowners have infused their homes with their own personalities and special style.
Enhancing the tour experience will be the fascinating stories visitors will hear about each home and its former occupants. Interestingly, in this civic election year, two of the homes were once the residences of three early High River mayors. Although the Museum of the Highwood building (the former CPR station) was damaged by fire on July 28th, the tour is going ahead as planned. Ticket holders will start their tour outside the station, where they will pick up maps and guidebooks, then visit each of the homes in any order desired.
Participants are urged to purchase tickets ($25) in advance by calling the Museum of the Highwood at 403-652-7156 or by visiting our office at #4 609 Centre Street S.W. (next to Curves) in High River. Tickets may be ordered by email:
museumofthehighwood@highriver.ca. Tickets may also be purchased the day of the tour.
All proceeds will support the operations of the museum and restoration of the collection.
