Saluda Home and Garden Tour Today

June 1, 2013 from 1 to 5 PM - The Annual Saluda Home and Garden Tour    Take a tour along an historic section of Saluda, part of Henderson Street. Eight homes will be open for touring and four others will feature either gardens, an art studio and in one, a rock and mineral museum. The Saluda Historic Committee is sponsoring this home and garden tour in an effort to raise money for several of their projects, one of which is to return historic, decorative tin work to the front of City Hall.

Most of the Tour homes were built in the late 1890s to early 1900s.  Some have been restored and some remain almost as they were then.  This is a rare chance to see the inside of some of Saluda's history.  A special treat of this tour is a chance to see what used to be The Polk County Rock and Mineral Museum which opened in 1962 on Main Street in Saluda.

The Tour will cover about 5 city blocks and golf carts will be available to assist with transport.

Tickets ($20) will be sold at the beginning of the tour which will starts at the First Baptist Church parking lot on Carolina Street, across the street from the Saluda Library.  The tour will be held rain or Shine.
