Each home has a unique story, interesting décor, and artifacts collected by their owners. This year, the architectural styles include two Victorian Itali- anates, a Victorian Queen Anne, a single-story Craftsman, and a unique two-story Craftsman that was moved to its present location when Interstate 5 was built and threatened to demolish it. Several homes were built before 1900, and two built by the 1920s. According to event committee member Gretchen Whisler, “You will see the architectural variety in the five houses with individu- alized layouts. The treat is always in the personalization and often in the history -- this year we have both.” Other activities include a downtown tree walk at 10:30 a.m. with landscape architect Guy Stivers; a vintage car and trailer show; a quilt show by the Flying Geese Quilters Guild; the traditional Maypole dance performances; a craft marketplace; a talk on drought- tolerant gardens by Laguna Hills Nursery; live music; and a wine and beer garden. A horse-drawn trolley provide transportation between all homes. Tickets on the day of the event are $30, with discounted pre-sale tickets available until Sept. 23. For more information or to order tickets online, visit TustinHistory. com, or call (714) 731-5701. The tour will begin at the Tustin Presbyterian Church, 225 W. Main St. An opening ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m. The tour benefits the Tustin Area Historical Society, and supports the Tustin Area Museum and other programs including “History in a Box” for school children.
