Press release from The Avalon Museum:

Get a flair for Olde Avalon. The Avalon Historical Societies sixteenth annual Olde House Tour will be
held Friday, June 23 from 1 to 4 p.m . This is an exceptional walking tour that shows early Avalon homes
that the owners have taken great pride in preserving to meet their needs. The society hopes to raise the
consciousness of others in preserving these lovely homes that are so much a part of the island’s history.

This summer, four houses will be featured dating from 1904 thru 1929, and an 1892 church will be
opened. See how these early homes are brought into the twenty-first century, with their unique
transformations. The charming features of these homes will not be found in the houses being built
today. Chair Rose Marie Chew refers to early homes as the “Treasures of Avalon”, and the homeowners
are happy to own one of them. For tickets/information call the History Center at 609-967-0090, or stop
in at the History Center at 215 – 39th Street in Avalon.
