Raffle prizes this year will feature opportunities to win one of
several “Healdsburg Experience” packages each consisting of an
overnight stay at one of Healdsburg’s delightful bed and breakfasts;
meals at one of the area’s highly acclaimed restaurants; and fine
wines from the Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley and the Russian
River appellations. Raffle tickets may be purchased at check-in at
the Healdsburg Museum and will also be available for purchase online.
The 2007 tour
features 6 homes, all
within one mile of the museum. Most of the homes
are upgraded for modern lifestyles yet preserve features and flavors
of the original styles. A history and photo for each house is in
the brochure handed out at the museum. The owners have generously
opened their homes for the benefit of education, proud to share the
local history.
Directions to the museum: Healdsburg is
about 15 minutes north of Santa Rosa on Highway 101. From 101, take
the Central Healdsburg exit, continue on Healdsburg Avenue to
Matheson St. (3rd stop light). Turn right, go 3 blocks to
Fitch St. The Museum is on your left at that intersection.
Please wear
comfortable walking shoes. High heels are not allowed in the homes.
The tour will be held rain or shine.
Thank you for

popular walking tour helps AAUW fund scholarships for girls and
