Carson City Historical Society's 2015 annual Garden Tour is Saturday
The Carson City Historical Society's 2015 Garden Tour is Saturday, June 13. This walking and driving tour includes some very special Carson City homes and gardens.
The self-guided tour begins at 11 a.m. and will run until 4 p.m. More than a dozen carefully selected homes and gardens, some new to the tour, some old favorites, will be available for public viewing for this special event. We are pleased to announce that the Krebs-Petersen House will be opened for your admiration. This was the location of John Wayne's last movie, "The Shootist."
A lawn party follows the tour at the Foreman-Roberts House Museum (1207 N. Carson St.) from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., where we will serve wine and hors d'oeurves. There will be live music by singer June Joplin for all to enjoy as the perfect end to the day.
The after party, which is included in the price of the tour ticket, will feature wine, appetizers and live music by local artist June Joplin. A raffle for an original painting by local artist, Stephanie Shefrin will be held. Raffle tickets are 6 for $5. We hope you will join us.
The Tour will raise funds for the Foreman-Roberts House Carriage House interior work. Tickets are $15 and go on sale May 9. The can be purchased at Due Sorella (Two Sisters), 202 N.
