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. Learn more about Saluda NC HERE.
